D800 and prores in CS5

[Jeff Pulera]

Hi Jack,

Premiere will handle ProRes just fine, except there was a bug in CS5 and maybe into CS5.5 also (before the 5.0.3 patch) which would show ProRes files with 4-channel audio as a non-supported format when you try to import them. Note that clips with 2-channel audio worked well, so just make sure that is how you record them.

Are you looking at the Atomos recorders?

Thanks

Yep, looks exciting. I assume the D800 would automatically record in two channel?

Hi Jack,

You will get stereo audio from the camera in the HDMI stream. The Ninja can be set to record 2-channel (stereo) audio from HDMI or the analog mini jack input, or 4-channel audio when specifying BOTH inputs. Just set up in the Ninja menu. With CS5, you would want just the two channels because Premiere won’t accept the 4-channel clips, so do a test before committing to an actual event recording and make sure the workflow is correct.

You can review the Ninja User Guide here – https://www.atomos.com/ninja/manual/ninja-user_manual.pdf

Note we expect the new Ninja 2 to be shipping in the next week or so, adds larger screen and an HDMI output.

Hi
I have not tested but read elsewhere that the Nikon D800 do not output audio in the HDMI stream…..
CS5 do not work with AVID DNxHD or the AVID Quicktime format from the Black Magic Hyperdeck Shuttle 2.
