RawClip vs DJI Mimo
Mimo is the phone app that runs your Osmo camera and fits a few clips into a template. RawClip turns the whole trip, up to 24 hours of footage, into one finished highlight.

Why RawClip instead of DJI Mimo
-
The whole trip, not one template
DJI's support center says a Mimo template is only available when you import exactly the number of clips it requires. RawClip takes up to 24 hours of footage in one order and decides what is worth keeping.
-
Osmo and everything else together
Mimo is built around DJI handhelds. RawClip mixes Osmo Pocket, Osmo Action and Osmo 360 clips with DJI drone, GoPro, Insta360 and phone footage in one highlight.
-
Edited from your footage, not a preset shape
A template gives every video the same structure. RawClip watches all of your clips, keeps the peak moments, drops the dead time and cuts to music with the cuts on the beat.
-
No phone screen editing
Mimo's editor works on your phone, clip by clip. RawClip runs in the browser on any computer or phone and returns a finished video in 4K and 1080p.
-
A top-tier AI model, not a budget one
RawClip analyzes every order with a Pro-class video AI model: the more expensive kind that judges timing and framing best, not a fast, cheap 'lite' model or a free one. It costs more per video, and it is why the cuts land on the right moment.
What DJI Mimo is good at
DJI describes DJI Mimo as the dedicated app for its handheld devices. It connects to the Osmo Pocket, Osmo Action, Osmo Nano, Osmo 360 and Osmo Mobile series for live preview and remote control, runs ActiveTrack on Osmo Mobile gimbals, sends firmware updates and lets you edit footage straight from a connected camera.
Its editor is a real one: subtitles, stickers, transitions, speech-to-text, speed ramping, DJI's Pro color filters and a sports dashboard that turns Apple Watch, Garmin and other activity data into dynamic dashboards. If you want captions, a data dashboard or hands-on control of a short clip, Mimo does things RawClip deliberately does not.
Where the templates stop
Mimo's AI Editor works through templates. DJI's product page says scene analysis finds the highlights and applies a ready-made template, and DJI's support center adds that the number of imported clips must not be less or more than the template requires, or the template is not available. You pick the clips, the template fixes the shape, and you adjust the result on the phone.
That suits one walk with an Osmo Pocket 3. A week of travel or a season of riding is hundreds of clips and hours of recordings, and fitting that into a template means choosing the few clips yourself first.
How RawClip handles a whole trip of Osmo footage
Copy everything off the camera, add the drone and phone clips from the same trip, and upload it all to RawClip in one order. The analysis watches every minute, scores the strongest moments, drops the dead time and offers several highlight lengths; you choose one and get a highlight reel cut to music.
There is no template to pick and no clip count to hit. You pay once for the video and download it in 4K and 1080p.
Try RawClip on your own footage
Upload the clips you would otherwise leave on the card. RawClip watches all of it and returns one finished highlight - you only pick the length.
Questions people ask
How many clips can a DJI Mimo template take?
DJI's support center says each template requires a set number of photos or clips, and the template is not available if you import fewer or more. RawClip takes up to 24 hours of footage in one order, with no clip count to match.
Should I still use DJI Mimo if I use RawClip?
Yes. Mimo is how you connect, control and update your Osmo camera, and its editor is the better choice for captions, stickers and sports data dashboards. RawClip is for turning hours of footage into one finished highlight.
Can RawClip combine Osmo Pocket or Osmo Action clips with other cameras?
Yes. One RawClip order can mix Osmo, DJI drone, GoPro, Insta360 and phone footage, and the AI builds a single highlight from all of it.
Do I need to install anything for RawClip?
No. RawClip runs in the browser. You upload your files, choose the highlight length after the analysis and download the finished video in 4K and 1080p.
