# FAQ

**Does macOS Finder support Blackmagic RAW (.braw) thumbnails or playback?**\
No. macOS Finder does not provide native thumbnail or playback support for Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) files.

**How can I view BRAW thumbnails and playback in macOS Finder?**\
Install the free Calibrated QuickLook extension included with the Tin Man app. It enables Finder thumbnails, space-bar playback, scrubbing, metadata overlay, and timecode overlay for BRAW files.

**Does this also work with RED RAW (.R3D)?**\
Yes. Calibrated QuickLook adds thumbnail and playback support for RED RAW R3D files as well.

**What other formats are supported?**\
Calibrated QuickLook also supports ARRIRAW (MXF\*/ARI/ARX), Sony RAW (MXF\*, camera-specific variants), Canon RAW (CRM/RMF), Nikon RAW (NEV), DPX, and MXF\* files for thumbnails and playback in macOS Finder.

**Is the QuickLook extension free?**\
Yes. It installs automatically with the Tin Man trial and does not require a license.

**Does it work on macOS Sequoia and Tahoe?**\
Yes. Calibrated QuickLook supports macOS Sequoia and later.

\**Please note – macOS loads Apple’s native MXF QuickLook extension at startup. To allow Calibrated QuickLook to handle video previews for supported MXF files, Finder must be restarted after each system startup.*
