DCP-o-matic

On the 22nd of Nov my short film Broken Sleep will be playing hopefully on a big screen in my local art centre
they have a GDC server and have had problems before with DCP-o-matic DCP's but also DCP's made with other software
Any advice from anyone, I really don't want to be sitting in the cinema with family and friends and my film doesn't work
that would be a nightmare, please help?

They should be able to ingest and test the DCP before the screening - at least a few days ahead should be possible.


You should make sure your DCP follows general compatibility requirements. It is possible e.g. to create 60fps DCP, but only some of the installed servers will be able to play it. So, make sure you create a DCP using safe specs.
