  Nikon Raw into A.E.7

  Posted by David Linstrom on October 1, 2006 at 1:47 am

  I’m getting this message when I try to import a series of Nikon NEF stills into A.E.7- the file format could not parse the file (45::35)
  The stills were shot with a Nikon D200 in RAW adobe rgb.
  I shot a series of stills on a D100 in RAW adobe rgb and had no problem importing them.
  Any ideas?

  Well from my experience, the camera raw plug-in for AE7 is differn’t from the updated raw camera plug-in for PS that you can download from adobe.com.

  I tried to put the PS version in to AE with no luck using my 30D which shoots CR2 format which is a slightly newer generation than the previous Raw converter used in AE 7.

  Until they update the raw view for AE you’ll need to use PS actions to conver the files into something AE can handle. If you click on that andrew kramer character there is a tutorial on how to batch convert images… You can set the action to ignore import dialog boxes to bypass the raw window, just make sure you record an action with the process of opeing the raw so it will use all of your raw conversion settings, just don’t use any automatic switches do it manually with exact values for exposure ans contrast etc.

  Also microsoft raw viewer plug-in also needs updating for the 30D and a few other cameras as well…
  Cheers,
  Andrew
