Author Topic: DCP Conversion Ram Melegrito Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Mandaluyong City, Philippines Registered: Dec 2014 posted 04-30-2015 07:39 AM                     Sup guys, Started learning DCP conversion with OpenDCP to save on costs. Used to outsource this for $300 per 30-seconds. So far, I've got the basics figured out, but for some test conversions the color seems off. Any tips on how to render the source video to prevent this? Thanks a bunch.  |  IP: Logged Ben Edwards Film Handler Posts: 17 From: BRISTOL, CITY OF BRISTOL,ENGLAND Registered: Apr 2014 posted 04-30-2015 08:06 AM                        DCP-O-Matic is a much better option. Its has a easy to use GUI and is a lot faster. Its also got a great community. I have used it a lot including 2 feature (A doc and a drama).

Easier to learn than OpenDCP, simple to use, works great. And you can get any question answered within minutes, either by emailing mailing list or asking here.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2015 01:26 PM                     I also vote for DCP-O-Matic. http://dcpomatic.com/ If you use it for commercial purposes, please consider donating to the project.  |  IP: Logged Annli Com Expert Film Handler Posts: 140 From: ShibuPaul-India Registered: May 2014 posted 05-01-2015 12:11 AM                        DCP O MATIC  |  IP: Logged Joseph Williams Film Handler Posts: 2 From: gloucester, ma , usa Registered: Aug 2014 posted 06-03-2015 05:08 PM                        Has anyone used this to convert Quicktime  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 06-04-2015 05:33 PM                     You mean to convert Quicktime movies to DCP?
