Supported Media Formats

Oraphim is designed to handle media from almost any camera system in existence without the need to transcode prior to importing.

Note: Codec support varies slightly depending on whether you are using the free version of Oraphim or Oraphim Studio, and whether you are on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
