| here a list of things I've found out the last couple of hours: good tutorial: http://www.mattcameronfilm.co.uk/2012/04/digital-cinema-package-tutorial.htm l specs 2K: Widescreen: 1998 x 1080 CinemaScope: 2048 x 858 render from AE (or other NLE) to Tiff sequence, I am opting for 32bit. (using a ProRes4444 file) audio in 5.1 with 6 x mono WAV file, 24bit PCM. (Some tips from Stephen about the audio, I will use, thx!) put tiff through OpenDCP, to make JPEG2000 files. put JPEG2000 files through OpenDCP to make a MXF, put audio channels through OpenDCP to make Audio5.1 MXF. use OpenDCP again (final tap) to create a DCP package from it, keeping in mind the duration and entry point for Picture and Sound. (optional SMPTE subtitles) Format a 7200rpm HardDisk in Linux MBR Ext 3. (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/) buy a CRU Dataport Carrying Case, DX115, to connect with the DCP server. Get a trial copy of EasyDCP Player (http://www.easy-dcp.de/product.php?id=5) just to check if it works at all. Mount the Harddisk with a mount program to check if it all works. that's it for now. Will create a video tut, when it all works for me ;) Met vriendelijke groet/kind regards, Marcel van Berk LSSLSS info@lsslss.nl www.lsslss.nl -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] Namens lsslss Verzonden: vrijdag 29 juni 2012 17:58 Aan: After Effects Mail List Onderwerp: Re: [AE] OpenDCP hi Stephen, you mean this tutorial, I'm going through it allready ;) http://www.mattcameronfilm.co.uk/2012/04/digital-cinema-package-tutorial.htm l Met vriendelijke groet/kind regards, Marcel van Berk LSSLSS info@lsslss.nl www.lsslss.nl -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] Namens Stephen van Vuuren Verzonden: vrijdag 29 juni 2012 17:44 Aan: After Effects Mail List Onderwerp: Re: [AE] OpenDCP > Here's a detailed blog post about creating DCPs: >http://bitfilms.blogspot.com/2010/02/making-dcp-entirely-with-open-sour >ce.h tml That's very out of date and incomplete information (there is a newer article linked in the post) - but it's also out of date as well. It's also missing a lot of information you need (e.g. it's for a short, disk info in wrong for a feature (EXT3 Linux needed). This is a better link: http://www.mattcameronfilm.co.uk/2012/04/digital-cinema-package-tutorial.htm l - but a couple of small points. AE is a better quality tool for XYZ colorspace conversion and JPEG2000 encoding (Fnordware) than OpenDCP as outline in the article. If your soundtrack is stereo, a stereo DCP does load and play - however, you may be very unsatisfied with how it sounds. That's why Academy/DCI recommend 3.1 or 5.1 as a minimum. Some venues playback stereo just through left and right. The center and sub are not active, so it will sound flat, too soft with no bass. However, some venues wire stereo through all 6 speaker channels equally, which will blast out the theater. You don't have to do a full 3.1 or 5.1 mix. Use something like Vegas/Audition/ProTools etc. to create a simple 3.1 or 5.1 multiplex, strongly weight to center/left/right with proper LFE crossover at theatrical levels. A good mix should average around -12db but monitoring on a setup weighted to -81db or so is recommended. Do not push a broadcast mix out - that has been compressed to -3 or -6. It will clip and theaters will be most unhappy with you. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/ http://www.outsideinthemovie.com/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
