DPX Help Panic!
I have a serious and time pressing problem.
I am currently finishing the sound editing on my first real shortfilm, and is to deliver the product to a postproduction company tomorrow for color grading and final product.
They require a DPX file, and this is where my skills are insufficient. I have some knowledge of FCP but Shake or After Effects or GlueTools is like a third language for me.
If someone could take the time and very precisely describe how to create Frame Stacks? DPX? From my Final Cut Sequence I would really appreciate it.Please help a new editor who is under a lot of stress.
Thanks…
I’m from Denmark and will be spending my night up and editing the sound for the next 6 or so hours… any help will be appreciated…

OK this is not something you can learn in a few minutes,
Since we have no idea of your set up or hardware offering help is rather difficult.
DPX files are still frames that can be converted from video -for 1080 footage they are about 9 mgs each at 24fps so the amount of storage needed is quite large.
this is not a process that can be done without some heavy lifting on the part of your hardware.

Well, a quick and dirty answer COULD be the following (although it may have its limits/drawbacks):
For the sake of organization, export each scene as its own self contained uncompressed Quicktime in its own folder. Then, download the free app from AJA, AJAQTtoDPX and export each of your scenes as DPX stacks.
