DCP too big for cinema screen
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2019 1:46 pm
Hi everybody
Thank you for allowing me to join the group.
I've been having an issue with creating a DCP over the last few weeks and I am fresh out of ideas.
I have a feature film I am looking to create a DCP from. The film is presented in 2k scope at 25fps. Any combination of aspect ratio and container size I have tried when creating the DCP is always too big for the screen on one side when played back at the cinema. Even when playing the film back in flat, and the screen is letter boxed and pillar boxed, again one side of the frame is cut off (the right side). I have titles which go from edge to edge (width) but they never fully appear on the screen. (see image below) The image is also cut off from the top and the bottom when played back in scope.
Is there any idea why this would be happening? (The last letter is supposed to be a 'D', but is being cut off)
Could it be because the film is in 25fps and not 24? Could it be an issue with the projector? I've checked all the files used to create the DCP (ie TIFF files) but there is nothing out of place with them. Is it something to do with the container size or aspect ratio?
Any help would be much appreciated as I have a screening of the film next week (at the same cinema as where I am testing the DCP) and would love to present the film as a DCP.
If you need anymore information please let me know, as this is my first post here so I'm not too sure if there's more information I need to present.
Thank you again
