Can we please get support for Nikon's NRAW codec? Resolve and Edius already have it cooked up and ready to go. This reactive rather proactive approach to codec integration is really disappointing. First it was Prores RAW (still ongoing issues) and now NRAW. How about Adobe show Nikon shooters a bit of love here?

I am echoing everyone else here. We need support for N-Raw.

@BenShakespearePhotos You'll find that Resolve is a well-integrated as the Creative Suite, but in different ways. I still use both. The Fairlight audio page in Resolve is much more tightly integrated for mixing than Audition is in the Creative Suite. It's remarkable how easy it is to go back and forth betweeen the Edit page and Fairlight. But there is no audio file editor like there is in Audition, so I use Audition for audio file editing.

 

Color is an order of magnitude better iin Resolve. No contest at all.

 

After Effects and Fusion arre so different that virtually nothing you know of one helps with the other. I've used Resolve for a dozen years and still can't get the hang of Fusion. (But I've used AE since v1.0, before Adobe bought it.) I still use AE, and while I miss the ability to cut files together in Premiere and dynamic link them to AE, I find that if I organize my folder structure, I can simply replace an AE comp and Resolve will put in its proper place reliably.

 

I don't use Rush, but there's a Cut page in Resolve that you might find replaces it easily. 

 

All that said, there's no reason to give up the Creative Suite because you use Resolve for Edit, Color and Mix. Or you can use a proxy workflow in Premiere and just use Resolve for final color. Resolve is free or a one-time $300 cost for the studio version. It's well worth it to have both available, because each has some things it does better than the other.

Hi @audio90 yes, do have a Z9 which I'm really excited about using. I work with stills and video and already have 2 x Z6II. The thing I was most excited about was the RAW video. I think I'd just prefer to use Premiere as I'm deeply embedded in the ecosystem, use Audition a lot as well as After Effects.

 

That said, I think I'll just have to head on over to Resolve, I'm looking forward to getting going with it and I appreciate your comments.

I have had resolve for a while and have been using it more recently. because of the lack of support for Nraw. Both are great but Davinci are nearly as frustrating in their issues with Prores, but it's an easier work around. However it's not a suite and once you take the ecosystem as a whole, for me audition, rush and after effects integration makes Adobe a better choice especially if you are also working with stills and cross platforms.

Just another person adding their voice to the desperate need for support for this. Now have to go and use Resolve so that I can complete my work. Understand that there are multiple issues that need working on across the Adobe product board Fergus, but if Adobe is meant to be the gold standard for creative professionals and educators, then surely you need to be adopting the formats the pro-cameras are using - and look to be using for the forseeable future.

 

Are the other issues ones that lead people straight away from using Adobe products, becuase this issue is - it may not have as many votes as others, but there's no easy workaround here - you simply can't avoid moving away from Adobe products to solve it. Surely that's a business issue, and not a creative one?

 

Perhaps we need a little tweak  of the Adobe mission statement...

I'm just adding my voice to the list of Z9 users awaiting NRAW support in Adobe Premiere Pro. Like many others I've been learning Davinci to work with the format. Hopefully, there's an update sooner than later.

To hear that a company the size of Adobe cannot get through its "priority list" fast enough to include file format support for the flagship camera (that has now been out for 18 months) of one of the top 3 camera manufacturers in the world, means that Adobe is not employing enough people to deliver professional-quality product. I've been a loyal Adobe customer for over 30 years and am now actively exploring my options.

"but I do completely understand why it is important to Z9 customers and it is on our radar. "

That is very appreciated. Thanks Fergus.
