Software for Nikon

[David88vert]

Anyone else using ControlMyNikon and Cinematographer Pro? I just got them, and like how you can really dial-in some shots with it. Working on some scripts for it now. Wondering if anyone else was using it, or already have scripts for it.

i use lightroom3 and love it. i have never heard of what your using?

I have Lightroom, and I use that for post-processing, and cataloging. I use PS CS5 for more detailed editing of photos of course, but LR does 90% of what I need.
I have Capture NX2 and ViewNX2 from Nikon, but I don't really use them, as Adobe is easier for me.

Capture my Nikon is not post-processing. It is actual captureing software. I hook my laptop up to the camera through it's USB port, and I can do everything that you can do in LiveView. It also allows the user to setup scripts to do a set of commands that can automatically send photos for post-processing, focus stacking, or even timelapse HDR sequences.

Cinematographer Pro is basically the same, but for video on the D7000 and D5100.

What I really like is that I can see the photo/video on a much bigger screen, and get focus a lot easier. For a couple of manually focused videos, I was off slightly before, as I couldn't see the screen well enough on the camera, but with the bigger screen of a laptop, you can really get into strict focus.

oh ok, the first one sounds cool, wouldnt have any need for the second one. you would love LR3.

I have LR3.5. I use it all the time.

The CMN software is cheap - $20. Definitely worth it. You can demo it for free for 14 days.
