Hi,
@Joseph: yeah, actually I’ve been in this kind of predicament, literaly how you described it. DCP made with Clipster, copy MD5 checked, DCP checked in cinema room and still we had an ingest problem with the cinema server. Plus: it wasn’t working on another continent. So I hear you.
It’s not about optimism. We have tools now which are doing these bunch of XMLs correctly. I know the hierarchy and how the cpl and pkl are related also with the subtitle cpls, and I have a pretty good guess how you know it. 🙂
Of course you shouldn’t change it with a text editor. 🙂 like eating soup with a fork. I have a pretty good guess how you know this too…
You’re right in everything but we’re talking about apples and oranges.
You’re saying how it works and I totally agree with it, and I’m curious about how it can work even simpler soon.
Let me put it this way: When you want to be as correct as possible for the DCP package, you have to export XYZ JPEG2000 (takes a lot of time since it is coding and there’s no GPU support), and then run another round in another tool to make a DCP package, then ingest the DCP into another tool which is connected to your monitoring device. Would be nice to simplify this process a bit.
What I’m looking forward to: is we do this whole thing in one software where we can control the gamma, the LUTs, the color space and all other things correlated to how it will look in the cinema.
My thought about this: It will happen that we export DCPs from the grading software. With simple stuff it is already happening (commercials with 5.1 sound, short films). Nature of progress.
I was just simply curious in the beginning if anyone heard anything about more than 1 subtitle for a DCP in Resolve 11… That’s it… 🙂
The rest is on the developing teams.
Cheers,
Adam
