Video Codecs - Supported Applications

We have chosen the Apple ProRes®, Avid DNxHD® and Avid DNxHR+ codecs as our main video codecs since they are visually lossless, as well as being edit-ready formats. The H.265 (HEVC) codec is also available as an optional upgrade, and provides a highly efficient compressed codec option. For more information refer to the Activating the H.265 (HEVC) codec for your NINJA V section.

Generally speaking, all major non linear editing applications support Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD/DNxHR, and most have support H.265 (HEVC). Applications need to support these codecs inside a .MOV wrapper.

Please refer to the support documentation for your software for compatibility, especially with 10 Bit 4:2:2 H.265.

Importing NINJA V footage into Final Cut Pro

You can import NINJA V footage into Final Cut Pro (FCP) in just a few simple steps.

1. Connect the Docking Station to your Mac. For information on connecting the Docking Station refer to the   section.

2. Insert the media with your footage into the Docking Station and you will see the drive appear in your Finder window.

3. Start Final Cut Pro and open your project (or start a new one).

The screen will look like this:

Go to the File menu and select Import > Media. Final Cut Pro will show you a 'browse' window. Look for the NINJA V drive, and click on it.

You’ll see the folders in the drive. Select the folder containing the footage you want to import. Click on Import All or Import Selected. Individual clips can also be selected.

Choose the Event you wish to import the footage into, or create a new event. Click on Import.

Your Scene, Shot and Take files now appear in the project window, ready for use in your FCP project.
