DCP-o-matic

Interesting idea - I had it in a "Tools" menu, and it would show all the DCPs in the project, but I think a right-click menu option makes more sense, thanks!

Hi all, I have long disliked the "Use this DCP's video as OV and make VF" checkboxes at the top of the video, audio and text tabs in DCP-o-matic. It's a fairly niche feature, which only applies to DCP content, and is presented right at the top of the tabs as if it's really important (somet...

Is that J2C file the right size on Dropbox?

Hello,

It sounds like a bug in DCP-o-matic; the easiest way to track it down would be if I can get a copy of the video file. Is that feasible?

No problem, glad you got it all straightened out. Let me know if you have ideas on how to clarify the manual, especially this page which is the current attempt to explain it.

The best guidelines for DCP subs are probably in the SMPTE Bv2.1 application profile : First subtitle at least 4 seconds into the DCP. Minimum duration 15 frames, with at least 2 frames between each subtitle. Aim for a maximum of 52 characters per line, and don't go over 79. No more than 3 lines.

It is Closed captions I want. How do I "specify the proper language of your subtitles" As I mentioned in the manual it says it should be on the Content→Timed text tab but it is not there. It is shown in a screenshot in the manual but not in the actual interface. You don't see a "Lang...

And some have subtitles added at the bottom of the projected image or is the only way to do this to burn them in?

I'm sorry, I don't follow this question, can you rephrase it?

In the 2nd one, I use 'Add DCP...' and also add the srt file and select the options mentioned in the instructions you just linked to? Right TestJ_TST-1_F-178_EN-EN_20_2K_20230503_FUN_SMPTE_OV? is it TestJ_TST-1_F-178_EN-EN_20_2K_20230503_FUN_SMPTE_VF? I could call the second project Testj_EN_VF, gu...
