According to Pomfort, ClipHouse supports the entire spectrum of the RAW workflow; the tool’s workflow is divided into four areas for this purpose: Copy, Color, Manage and Export. ClipHouse is intended to play RAW clips in real time directly from the camera and allow the footage to be checked for focus and exposure. In addition,  backups of the RAW recordings can be created on set and verified by users using checksums. 

Color corrections can also be applied directly to clips. To debayer them for editing systems that are not designed for RAW files, there is the option of exporting them as QuickTime ProRes (Proxy LT, 422, HQ and 444) as well as in H.264 format—with transcoding including all grading information.

ClipHouse currently supports the CinemaDNG RAW format used by Blackmagic cameras, among others, and Magic Lantern RAW from Canon EOS cameras. The program is currently compatible only with Mac OS X version 10.7.5 or later. A one-year license for the program costs 39 euros, while the unlimited version is available for 99 euros. A free 14-day trial version is also available.
