Understand what a DCP is and why you need it, then export from DaVinci or Adobe Premiere. Create a free DCP with disappear or Matic and test playback for cinema.
Understand how a DCP standardizes delivering films to cinemas. It bundles video, audio, subtitles, and a playlist, created with free software, for festivals and Oscar consideration.
Opt for 2k to match most cinema projectors. Use flat or scope with 24 fps, 2000 compression, 250 Mbps max, DCI-P3 color, Linux servers, and uncompressed audio.
Export cinema-ready dcp from DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere by choosing uncompressed video, highest bitrate, and 24 fps with PCM audio; consider flat vs scope and use DCP-o-Matic for packaging.
Learn to create a cinema-ready DCP with the free DCPoMatic, balancing content input and output, handling audio 5.1, subtitles, frame rate, and interop settings.
Learn to test your DCP before cinema screening using free trial players (Neil DCP, senior asset player), perform a two-step 10-second check, and prepare a Linux ext3 disk.
