Full and HD are not well supported by theater masking so should be avoided especially. "24fps" is 24.000fps not 23.976fps. Not sure what AME does with 23.976, but you will either get a non-compliant DCP or artifacts from conversion. Proper method is .1% speedup

Also AME from my viewing lacks any ability to properly naming DCPs, not sure about digital signing and hash checking. Does not help with drive formatting and several dozen other features (including 3D, InterOp vs. SMTPE) which open source software like OpenDCP support.

It's pretty weak overall and not suitable IMO for professional work.

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.

Hi!
Use the following formats for DCPs:
Flat: 1998x1080
Scope: 2048x858
Full: 2048x1080
HD: 1920x1080

Make sure that your video is @24fps, AME DCP only supports 24fps DCPs.

Cheers
Christer
