When Should You Convert NEF to FLV?
There are strong reasons to convert NEF to FLV:
Editing flexibility: FLV Video files can be opened in a wider range of editing software, giving you more options for further modifications.
Collaboration ease: Team members and collaborators are more likely to have software that opens FLV Video natively, reducing compatibility friction.
Smaller file size: Lossy compression in FLV Video often produces significantly smaller files than Nikon RAW, saving storage space and bandwidth.
Faster loading: FLV Video files decode faster on most systems, reducing wait times when opening or streaming content.
Legacy system support: FLV Video is backward-compatible with older systems that may not support newer or proprietary formats like Nikon RAW.

NEF to FLV Quality Analysis
Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. FLV Video's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data. Convert FLV to MP4 immediately — Flash is completely deprecated For the best results, start with the highest quality Nikon RAW source file available.
Converting a static Nikon RAW image to FLV Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless NEF source retains all original data. Converting to lossy FLV will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
