Hi Rachel,
I would suggest Rich Harrington’s (and co authors) book, from Still to Motion as a primer. If you are studied and a film maker great, but, for HD enabled DSLR’s, even for a pro, that book is a measure of intent and focus which covers soup to nuts, the attendant ‘issues’ that you may need to choose from, gear wise.
Specific to your question, dual source audio may be of some importance, a Zoom or other audio capture interface etc. to isolate a clean audio signal but, there are many issues besides gear you might need to examine regarding how Nikon captures video.
Picture control, manual not auto focus, etc.

Hi Brian,
In Nikon the shutter speed is static, set in the movie menu choices (Camera Icon).
Changing the shutter speed on the body will affect exposure but video capture is static, not affected by changes made outside of the menu.

Hi Andres,
Try contacting these guys: https://www.markertek.com/Cables/Audio-Cables/DSLR-Audio-Cables/Sescom.xhtml
SESCOM makers of the ubiquitous IL-19 in line line buzz killer adapter favored by road crews everywhere, has several connecting cables with micro circuitry to balance gain structure for DSLRs.
A quick call or e-mail to them should lead to a solution be it a single cable, use of a direct box (passive) or two cables engineered for your purposes.

Others may have additional opinions.

Hi,
Which camera are you shooting with and what capture are you using (HDMI with a Ninja) etc.?
Did you try importing the footage directly into Premiere and denoise it afterwards?

From the link…”Note! Autofocus is not supported by D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D5200 cameras–lens may be used with manual focus only. Be sure to check your camera’s lens-compatibility information before selecting a new lens.”
This means you would set up the lens as a ‘manual’ lens under the wrench icon, as a Non-CPU lens. In most conditions the lens will be racked to the highest F/stop (22) and then, the camera controls will allow setting of the aperture. I might be wrong but if you use the aperture ring otherwise, an EE (error) message appears.
The AF function however, as noted, does not work so it is a manual lens operation.
There are often used (inexpensive) 50mm f1/4 lenses out there but some require a modification to work on the newer cameras.

Sounds like no fun at all.
San Disk has free recovery software, as do others, which may salvage the content. There are pay versions as well.
https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4985/~/data-recovery-for-memory-cards-and-flash-drives or in photo forums at Canon, Nikon etc.
Good luck.

To quote/paraphrase Photoshop CS6 The Missing Manual, Chapter, Photoshop and Video, on page 790:
“while it seems logical that you could import a video clip as a Smart Object, you can’t…PS treats the clip as a still.
To open…as a new document, choose file-open, navigate to where clips live, open. PS creates a new group in the layers panel…
(Once that is done)…control click/right click near the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Choose ‘Convert to smart object’ you can also choose ‘Convert to smart filter’.
Great book, especially for someone migrating from CNX2 and NIK, for editable nuance.
Have fun,
Paisley sky would be nice 😉

If you have firepower in your NLE workstation, you could load the video clips into PS, making the length into a smart object, then, cuts per content, brush moving back, then another moving forward and build layers with object outlines, similar to a still.
That way you could alter the sky apart from the other content, give another shade, hue etc.
Just a thought.

Gary,
Sorry for the delay.
Is the installation being fed via a DVD player, or will the file be on a hard drive?
Older PAL players don’t always see NTSC 23.98 files well, but newer ones do.
Ingest of the 1080 file, and conversion to 25 FPS in the NLE doesn’t add a frame but it can affect precise audio synch etc.
If the clip(s) are film only, the program should be able to manage it with little obfuscation AFAICT.
If the footage is run in post and the audio is not source recording, things should be fine with under bed audio.
If the piece is run from a hard drive in a loop, like a museum or point of sale in a gift shop there are various programs that can be used as players like VLC or Streamclip once you have rendered it into a high resolution h.264 format or other compressed scheme.
Should there be an issue, numerous fixes on a search are suggested for interpolating and so on but, the differences in your playback between the two formats should be negligible.
