Version 1.7 of slimRAW, a fast CinemaDNG compressor which saves storage space and reduces storage bandwidth requirements for CinemaDNG raw video production, is now available to download. This update adds the ability to downscale CinemaDNG raw video to half its original resolution: slimRAW can now produce 2K CinemaDNG from 4K CinemaDNG, 2.3K from 4.6K, and so on. Together with the previously available raw compression functionality, this allows huge data size reductions (up to 20:1 or more) and facilitates a raw proxy workflow for high resolution CinemaDNG production. slimRAW is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X.

slimRAW CinemaDNG compressor gains downscale abilities

November 10, 2016 - Version 1.7 of slimRAW has been released. The update adds the ability to downscale CinemaDNG raw video to half its original resolution: slimRAW can now produce 2K CinemaDNG from 4K CinemaDNG, 2.3K from 4.6K, etc. Together with the previously available raw compression functionality, this allows huge data size reductions (up to 20:1 or more) and facilitates a raw proxy workflow for high resolution CinemaDNG production. 

Aiming to exploit the convergence of raw video editing and coloring capabilities in popular post production applications, CinemaDNG raw proxies enable a smoother raw editing experience while preserving the coloring flexibility of the raw workflow.

slimRAW is a fast CinemaDNG compressor which saves storage space and reduces storage bandwidth requirements for CinemaDNG raw video production. slimRAW converts uncompressed CinemaDNG raw video to losslessly or lossily compressed CinemaDNG. slimRAW can also recompress and optimize size of CinemaDNG video that is already losslessly compressed, or convert lossy raw to lossless raw for increased compatibility with CinemaDNG video production software. slimRAW doubles as a CinemaDNG raw video DIT utility: it can offload raw video from camera or recorder media to two storage locations simultaneously with on-the-fly lossless or lossy compression, checksum generation and verification, while preserving all the original metadata.

slimRAW optimizes DNG stills and enables import of DNG stills and timelapses in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

slimRAW is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X.
