Just is the case with their photography specific counterparts, CinemaDNG files (RAW video files) formats have a broad set of advantages.

Of course, besides the fact that CinemaDNG formats support stereoscopic cameras and multiple audio channels, the main advantage of such files is the fact that they contain a very large amount of video information directly from the image sensor of video cameras.

It gives the user the option to tweak the results and to fiddle about with a larger range of possibilities. But despite their grand editing potential, as with all files of this sorts, they have a downside:  size.

Thankfully, with the help of an efficient and user-friendly application named slimRAW, you can now effortlessly compress your CinemaDNG files without of quality loss and save some precious storage on your Mac’s hard-drive.

Here’s what you need to know: slimRAW converts the uncompressed parts of any CinemaDNG raw video files using a lossless data compression algorithm. And you don’t have to worry about future editing, as this compression method of CinemaDNG files is compatible with the most popular video production software.

As some added bonuses, we can mention the fact that slimRAW preserves all of the video embedded metadata like color, time codes and frame rates, and can generate checksums, quite useful for post production and archiving purposes.

But, the best thing about slimRAW is how streamlined the workflow is: you only have to choose the folder that contains the footage and select another folder which the app will use to store the processed files, and simply click the “Start Job” button, and you are all set.

As an ending note, slimRAW is a pragmatic OS X application that manages compress your CinemaDNG raw video files without any compromise and without draining your Mac’s resources in the process.

What's new in slimRAW 1.10.0:

  • Revised input streaming for throughput utilization gains on some types of storage drives.
  • Monochrome DNG improvements.
  • DNG metadata related maintenance.
