Nikon has announced that its NX MobileAir app for Android now supports Adobe's Frame.io Camera to Cloud service when used with the Nikon Z9, Z8 and Z6III cameras. Adobe revealed the upcoming integration with Nikon on its Frame.io blog during the Adobe MAX conference back in October.
Frame.io is a cloud-based service that allows teams to collaborate on video and photo projects. It provides a centralized location for uploading and sharing media, real-time project feedback, and integration with other tools.
The latest version of the NX MobileAir app can automatically or manually upload video files from the supported cameras to a user's Frame.io account, including the ability to filter uploads by file format or ratings if they have been applied.
By providing support through the NX MobileAir app, Nikon is taking a slightly different approach to Frame.io support than companies like Fujifilm and Panasonic, which embed support directly in the camera.
Frame.io has become a popular integration on mirrorless cameras in recent years, particularly among video shooters. More recently, Frame.io gained the ability to automatically upload photos and push them to a user's Adobe Lightroom account.
There are some constraints to Nikon's current Frame.io implementation: uploads are limited to video files, and support is limited to the Android version of the NX MobileAir app. The company says a version of the app for iOS with Frame.io support is in the works.
The NX MobileAir app for Android can be downloaded from the Google Play store.

NX MobileAir supports video transfer for the first time
MELVILLE, NY (December 16, 2024) -- Nikon Inc. is pleased to announce that NX MobileAir (Android version*) now supports Frame.io, Adobe’s creative collaboration platform, and its Camera to Cloud service. NX MobileAir, which enhances the efficiency of professionals’ workflow by providing high-speed image delivery without using a computer, will now support video transfer.
This latest version of NX MobileAir will allow users to manually or automatically upload recorded video files to Frame.io, where they can be shared with others for real-time cloud collaboration. Additionally, when selecting video files for upload, they can be filtered by rating and/or file format. Support for Frame.io will provide a more efficient workflow by seamlessly connecting the entire video production process, from recording to final delivery. This feature is especially useful when speed is of the essence, such as with live event social media creation as well as news and sports reporting.
The Frame.io feature will be compatible with the Nikon Z9, Z8, and Z6III mirrorless cameras via the NX MobileAir App. In addition, Nikon will continue to provide software updates to satisfy the needs of those involved in video production and to contribute to the development of imaging culture with the hope of further expanding possibilities for imaging expression.
