Can't Convert 3D DCP to 2D ProRes
Posted: Mon May 09, 2022 3:23 pm
Hi,
I'm trying to export a 3D DCP Video File I have to a proper 2D ProRes file for playback. The first time I tried doing this, the program read the file as being at 48fps because of both the left and right frames playing back to back. Because of this, DCP-O-Matic said that it would be skipping every other frame, which I'll admit is ideal, but unfortunately this only shortens the run time of the video by half, so only the first half of the video properly exports. When I tried changing the settings to read at 24fps, instead of it exporting the whole video it just exported the first half again, but now it's showing both the left and right frames back to back. So it's the proper length it should be, but it's not skipping every other frame as it was doing when it was at 48fps, so now it's just the first half of the video in slow motion. I've tried changing the export settings so the program would read it as a 3D file and export it as two ProRes files (one for the left frame and the other for the right frame) but now I just get the following error every time I try to do this: "Error: Programming error at ../src/lib/ffmpef_encover.cc:244". I've also tried exporting it as a regular 2D ProRes file with just the 3D box checked off but, while it does start to export the video properly, the program eventually crashes before the exporting is complete. I feel incredibly stumped now. I could just use HandBrake to convert the file to a more playable codec, but they don't have a ProRes option and the only options it offers are heavily compressed options. Any other ProRes conversion program either costs money or only covers the first half of the video. Is there any chance someone can help me with this issue?
