Is there a way to view Canon RAW video files in macOS Finder? I want to preview files in a way that doesn’t require importing the files into a video editor. The Canon Cinema RAW Development software will preview the clips, but it does not allow me to delete video clips. Canon Digital Photo Professional allows rating and deleting video files, but you cannot play the video clip to preview.
Converting RAW video files to a more widely supported format is time consuming and uses extra space.
I have installed the RAW Plugin for Final Cut Pro.

Canon's software engineers would need to create a QuickLook plugin for that. Recommend providing feedback:

Thanks for your suggestion. Looks to me like the feedback tool is more marketing survey/aggregator tool Powered by Verint than feedback to Canon engineers.

There won't be any direct line to the engineers. Your feedback should get routed appropriately.

Is there a third-party app that can preview Canon RAW video files without first adding to a project in an editing app?

Have you looked into using a proxy workflow? Capture a lower-resolution MP4 or similar to a secondary card. Then preview those from Finder.
