Can FinalCut handle the R3D-NE codec from the new Nikon ZR camera?
R3D RAW video can be edited in FCP, but this new type of R3D-NE still doesn't work. Will there be an update? Davinci can do it. I would stick with R3D-NE in FCP if there is an update planned?

Nikon R3D-NE works in FCP 11.2 -- provided you have the correct RED software installed. Without this, upon trying to import Nikon R3D-NE, a pop-up error says the current RED third-party plug-in is not compatible. So the error itself indicates the source of the problem.
This software (and updating it) has always been required to use R3D files in FCP:

Great news for Final Cut editors! R3D-NE RAW is now working — just download the latest version from RED here: https://www.red.com/download/red-apple-workflow-installer
I, too, am VERY interested in being able to edit R3D-NE files directly in FCP. I've been shooting almost exclusively raw files on Z-Cams, and being able to ingest and manage the raw processing, color-correction, colorspace, luts etc on the unprocessed raw files directly in FCP is something I would have a really hard time giving up when I start shooting on the ZR. If I can't have native support in FCP, I may have to look at another NLE, and for me that would be a big bummer since I prefer FCP over Premier or Resolve (many times over).
