DCP Failing? Or Normal?
Been working to get my film out to the theater for a test audience screening I have this weekend, and am little concerned. Shot a DCP out of Premiere (2017.0.2) to Media Encoder, and exported while I went on a short trip. Used the Wraptor preset. Working with RED 5K footage, in a 2K timeline. Here’s the info I got back from Media Encorder
– Output File: I:\DCP\DCP\DCPTest.dcp
– Preset Used: Custom
– Video: 2048×858 (1.0), 24.0 fps, Progressive , 01:47:00:00
– Audio: 48000 Hz, Stereo
– Bitrate: Target 250 Mbps
– Encoding Time: 18:43:43

Did something go wrong here? Here’s what the settings looked like prior to sending it to Media Encoder:

Bring the mxf files to Premiere and see what you actually exported.

I dragged them into the timeline and the entire film seems to be there. Bringing in the audio, everything seems to work. I’m just being told by a few people here in town that I work with that “it seems tremendously small” for a 107 minute film. 14GB versus what they’ve been saying, around 150GB

Then there’s probably something wrong with the Wraptor exporter. I haven’t used it because I don’t really trust it. Try using EasyDCP or DCP-o-Matic.

wow that is tiny.
I just did a 68 minute DCP and it clocked in at 28gb.
But i don’t use wraptor either.
