Nikon Z9, Z8, and Z6 III Add Frame.io Support via NX MobileAir App
Nikon has announced that its NX MobileAir app for Android now supports Adobe’s Frame.io Camera to Cloud service for the Nikon Z9, Z8, and Z6 III cameras. This integration, revealed by Adobe during the Adobe MAX conference in October, opens up new possibilities for professional video and photo workflows. Frame.io is a cloud-based service that streamlines collaboration on media projects, allowing teams to upload, share, and provide real-time feedback on videos and photos from a centralized location.
With the latest update to NX MobileAir, users can now automatically or manually upload video files from their Nikon cameras directly to their Frame.io account. The app even allows for filtering uploads by file format or ratings, if applicable. This integration marks a shift in how Nikon supports Frame.io compared to companies like Fujifilm and Panasonic, which have embedded Frame.io support directly into their cameras. Nikon’s approach requires the use of the NX MobileAir app as a bridge, offering more flexibility but also introducing an additional step in the workflow.
While the addition of Frame.io support is a significant step for Nikon, there are some limitations to the current implementation. Uploads are restricted to video files, and the feature is only available on the Android version of the NX MobileAir app. However, Nikon has confirmed that an iOS version of the app with Frame.io support is on the way. The NX MobileAir app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, making it accessible for Android users looking to enhance their cloud-based media workflow.
