ARRIRAW Converter | Legacy Tools

The ARRIRAW Converter (ARC) is ARRI's free reference tool for processing MXF/ARRIRAW or ARRIRAW files to render images of optimal quality. It contains ARRI's Software Development Kit (SDK) which is also used in the postproduction tools from Adobe, Autodesk, Blackmagic, Colorfront, FilmLight, Filmmaster, Nablet AVID AMA PlugIn, The Foundry, and many others.

Use the ARRIRAW Converter

to create projects with bins and sequences
to display ARRIRAW and MXF/ARRIRAW files using individual processing settings
to apply different looks on the footage
to display metadata
to render files to one of the common formats for postproduction, such as OpenEXR, DPX or QuickTime/ProRes or to unwrap MXF/ARRIRAW files into ARRIRAW files
to display the CODEX HDE (High Density Encoding) file format *.arx
