ARI at a glance

Convert to ARI when maintaining compatibility with ARRI-originated raw image workflows or preserving frame data for grading and finishing.
It is appropriate for professional capture archives and controlled post-production pipelines.
NUMBERS at a glance
NUMBERS
Convert to NUMBERS when the recipient is expected to work further in Apple Numbers, especially for schedules, lightweight financial sheets, classroom materials, or visually arranged tables in Mac- and iPad-based workflows.
It is useful when the Apple editing experience matters more than cross-platform ubiquity.
For broad office interoperability, XLSX is usually the safer spreadsheet target.
