From raw footage to a fully formed story.

The idea
You captured the moments. RawForm helps you find the story.
Creative projects often begin with more footage, photographs and audio than anyone can comfortably review at once.
RawForm is being built to turn that first uncertain stage into a clearer creative direction while keeping the creator in control.
A completely standalone Mac product. RawForm is not an add-on to another Control Axis Systems application and will not require the ControlAxis business platform.
What RawForm is being built to do
Understand. Shape. Prepare.
A focused creative workspace between the media you captured and the detailed edit.
Shape the direction
Develop a clearer story, compare creative possibilities and keep the important decisions visible.
Prepare the edit
Move toward an organized production plan that can continue in the editing workflow you trust.
Built for many kinds of creators
One purpose: make the next creative decision clearer.
RawForm is being designed for professional editors, filmmakers, creators, businesses, photographers, families and hobbyists working with their own media.
Creators and editors
Spend less time searching through source material and reach the meaningful creative decisions sooner.
Businesses and teams
Build a clearer direction from interviews, demonstrations, events and approved brand media.
Families and hobbyists
Turn growing collections of memories into projects with a more approachable starting point.
The RawForm standard
Your media. Your story. Your final decision.
RawForm is being developed around a local-first foundation. Original media stays untouched and creative recommendations remain choices for the user to review.
Deeper workflow details, compatibility information and public availability will be shared as testing progresses.
RawForm is taking shape.
