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.

I have tried working with camera proxies but found it was not an ideal fit for my workflow. I regularly fill a 2TB CF cards with 8K RAW video and dump to fast SSD's. It would be extra work for me to manage both the proxy and RAW files from different cards. Using the macOS preview (select file / spacebar) allow me to make quick decisions about individual large RAW files. The updated software from Canon makes this possible.
