Author Topic: JPEG 2000 plugin for Adobe CS its free and works Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 10-11-2012 05:47 AM                        Might interest those making their own DCP's. The plugin works in Adobe CS suite and outputs your footage to a JPEG2000 Tiff sequence in the XYZ colour space. Faster then the OpenDCP convertor, though you still need to use OpenDCP to make the DCP "package". enjoy, oh its also free! MAC or PC http://www.fnordware.com/j2k/  |  IP: Logged Frank B.

The Read Me cites directories that don't exist. There is no plug-in folder in the common folder, for example. There is a plug-in folder inside Photoshop but there are two folders inside that and the Read Me does not specify where they should go. Lazy asses should have just built an installer. Not like I'd ever have a reason to use this, though.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 10-12-2012 05:42 AM                        Joe after you download and open the .dmg file you should get three folders, one for After effects, one for Photoshop, one for Premiere. In each of those folders is the plugin. Drop the plugin into the plugin folders in each of your CS apps and you should be good to go. I have a Mac and it works.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 10-12-2012 07:33 AM                        Oh I believe the plugin is based on the Kakadu encoder. Which is super fast but costs a bundle.

It does use the commercial Kakadu encoder, so it will have a speed advantage over OpenDCP's encoder. It relies on AE to perform the XYZ conversion, so be sure to select the right output profile in AE.  |  IP: Logged Frank B. McLaughlin Film Handler Posts: 76 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 2011 posted 10-16-2012 08:31 AM                        You will find Premiere Pro plug-ins "Adobe/Premiere Pro CSx/Plug-Ins".  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-17-2012 12:44 AM                        Not on the Mac. It looks like the folder is inside the application itself, gotta "show package contents" and snoop around inside what makes up the actual executable app. In there is a plug ins folder. I dropped it there but have not used it yet. I fully expect to import a video file and then export a full DCP that will play on all digital cinemas.  |  IP: Logged
