In depth
Raw video offers the same latitude in motion that raw stills offer in a single frame — white balance and ISO become adjustable decisions rather than baked-in choices. The cost is enormous data rates, demanding fast media and substantial processing power, which is why it is usually reserved for high-value work.
Examples in practice
Raw video lets a colourist correct a white balance error across an entire take without any quality penalty.
