Naming conventions for a distributor's logo DCP

Post by FayneTM »

Hi , I've been asked by a client to convert in DCP only their animated logo that they will display before each projection for an industry event , I'm wondering what the correct content type name I should use for such a video (we are talking a shorter than 10 second animation).

I've never used the XSN transitional tag for any DCP but it seems the most appropriate for this case , is this the correct naming for such a file or should I use PRO as in promo or CLP as in clip ?

Thanks in advance

I don't think it matters too much but personally I would go with XSN.

The only real relevance for this is where and how the different servers display this indicator. Some sort DCPs in their library according to this part of the DCNC name, and projectionists sometimes miss DCPs initially when an unusual type is used. I guess I would also go with XSN here.
