Looks like we might have to use DPX format or TIFF sequences.

 

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CinemaDNG

 

"CinemaDNG is different from the Adobe DNG (Digital Negative) format that is primarily used as a raw image format for still cameras. However, each CinemaDNG image is encoded using that DNG image format. The image stream can then be stored in one of two formats: either as video essence using frame-based wrapping in an MXF file, or as a sequence of DNG image files in a specified file directory. Each clip uses just one of these formats, but the set of clips in a movie may use both."

The workaround I was able to use: import directly into After effects. I used the basic (Ctrl + I) importer, select first frame of the series (And only first frame)...imports the rest that are in the same folder on your hard drive with it. From there you have access to the Raw controls (exposure etc) without transcoding to DNG or any other format... No conversion was necessary. Repeat for each set you want to import. Create a comp with size desired for your end result and drop the imported clip or clips into the comp. Transform the clip to the comp size (if smaller than clip of raw files). The only other thing you may want to do is separate your clips into different sub folders on your hard drive so you can edit each "group" take / scene individually (White balance per 30 frame shot etc) when you import them into after effects. I hope that helps,

I first wanted to say thank you for the Gentleman who first posted his video about this. I went out and bought the camera that weekend. This is just a couple of random clips I stitched together. All shot in Raw. Some at 30fps, some with the cameras interval feature on the Nikon V1. Edited in After Effects. Sadly You tube really kills the quality out of the camera, but you will still get the idea I hope. Enjoy :
