Do I need to get the full Power Director Suite to get proper H.265 to ProRes HQ conversion, if that's all I'm using it for?
I think any will do, they have Trials, so you can check yourself. I think it won't produce ProRes anyway, have no idea why you need it with H.265 source.
While transcoding H.265 to ProRes 422 HQ on Rocky Mountains Converter, it crashes at the very end, stating their was an error, and the final product is unusable.
Anyone having this issue as well?
Transcoding to H.264 works just fine.
Is everyone leaving the quality setting at the default of 10, or have they found a better quality level for their NX1 footage?
Thanks!

Anyone come up with a reasonably priced, solid, long-lasting external power pack solution for the NX1? The official BP-1900 batteries are expensive as hell and drain quickly in video mode. I also would like to shoot long time lapse RAW sequences.
Thanks!
Battery life is way above average in video. If you check on Amazon there is pack of 2 off brand batteries for 30 bucks.
Or you can just get on of those USB cellphone chargers. It'll power the camera and recharge the battery inside.
I haven't heard good things about those off brand NX1 batteries.
Do you recommend any particular USB charger? Thanks!
I got a charger called MyCharge from Best Buy it was like 30 bucks roughly the size of an iphone. I had it with me on a shoot once and ran it in to the camera while it sat in my pocket. There are probably better ones out there. I got it for my phone and it was the only thing Best Buy had in stock.
Thanks!
@chopnshot Do you know if this charger works with Sony A7s and Panasonic GH4?. If so, it's a fantastic power solution.
Its a usb charger. Can a7s and GH4 take a charger?
This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/myCharge-RZ30V--Razor-Rechargeable-Battery/dp/B00J4O1YBW/
You might want to check Best Buy because I got mine for cheaper than Amazon is selling it for. Not sure why but the silver charger was cheaper than the other colors.
Best Buy is more expensive now. It's still a little steep for such a low power rating. I'll have to keep looking.
If you need a high capacity low cost USB pack, take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/External-20000mAh-Limefuel-LP200X-Flashlight/dp/B00OHZVN5U/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1434170383&sr=1-3&keywords=usb+battery+pack
that looks like a good one. the LED percentage meter is a nice touch.
This one will work with the NX1? If so, thanks a million! :)
All USB bricks will give you the same voltage and at least 1A current. That's more than you need. So select based on reputation (like Amazon reviews), size, and price. Make sure you read the spec and reviews first. This pack is big and close to 1lb.
I do not own this one but that's what I would buy if I would need high capacity USB battery. For what I do, the NX1 battery is all I need.
I just received my NX1 with Pentax, Nikon and T2 adapters so I did a few quick tests with a 50mm F1.4 FA Pentax, 300mm F4 M* Pentax , 15mm F2.8 Sigma and it looks they may work better than my GH4. I used a trial version of Edit Ready on my Mac Pro for the H.265 to H.264 conversion.
