you need to convert to DNG first, or just straight up save in DNG in the Camera to get usable Footage which can be Processed by Standard Video Editing software.

 I don't know how to use phtyon,so can you tell me how to straight up save in DNG in the Camera?

If the Footage you need to get into your Video Editor is already shot and Saved (and not in RAM anymore, because the camera got shut down since then or something like that), you will need to Convert the .raw files with Python, not really a way around that.
 .
 If you are about to record something and can Set the Save File Format for all coming Footage, you can have a look at that:
 https://www.krontech.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/RE-PDEV-10009-Chronos-User-Manual-Full-Software-Version-0.7.0.pdf
 Page 27 of the 2.1 User Manual shows an image where you can Select the File Format for Saving. Click on that, and a Drop-Down Menu will come down. Select "CinemaDNG" Option, and select whatever part of RAM you want to save, as well as Save Location and File Name, as usual, then press Save.

on Page 90 of that Manual there is also a Overview of all the different File Formats, the camera is able to output, if selected in that Drop-Down Menu.

Thanks,I have shot the video and the video is on my SD card.Is ptython the only way to do this?I can't know how to use ptython. Who know Phython?Can you Leave your email

Never actually done this myself, i am just using DNG for saving, and also am not very comfortable around Code and stuff, but this doesnt look terribly difficult tbh.

 Here is an explanation for us who are not coders, and here is the Python script:
 https://github.com/krontech/chronos-utils/blob/master/python_raw2dng/pyraw2dng.py
 Only thing else you need would be to install Python, unless you for some reason already have it installed on your PC, and do as said in the Linked post.
 Let me know, if that helped you out, otherwise, i might try myself and will see if i can give you any further help.

I am only a student ,so I can't know phtyon not at all

Can you try what John DeLonghi said here:
 https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=132.msg1241#msg1241
 And download that .bat file he posted there, that Python Script and your Footage in a Folder together (after installing Python ofc), and run the .bat (after opening the .bat file and changing the Footage File Name to whatever your File Is actually called, or rename your Footage to test.raw, also change Resolution to whatever you recorded at).
 Should work, i hope.
