srRAW Cinema Camera for iPhone

srRAW Cinema Camera is an iOS app that turns your iPhone into a professional cinema camera. It captures video as uncompressed RAW sensor data, saving each frame as a CinemaDNG sequence directly to your Files app. This approach preserves all the original color information and exposure latitude from the sensor, giving filmmakers complete creative control over the final look during post-production rather than in the camera.

The app works by bypassing the iPhone's usual image processing pipeline. It uses a custom DNG encoder to write one RAW image every 41ms, capturing 14-bit data with twice the color information compared to Apple's ProRes format. What makes it stand out is the native integration with DaVinci Resolve, where footage can be graded immediately without transcoding. The app supports iPhones with 6GB RAM (12 Pro and newer) for up to 4K CinemaScope resolution.

This tool benefits filmmakers, content creators, and photographers who want cinematic quality from their iPhone. It's ideal for projects where color grading flexibility matters most, such as short films, commercial work, or any production that requires professional color correction. The accompanying cine.ma community provides training, Resolve toolkits, and a platform for users to influence future features through testing and voting.
