Summary0003076: KDM Email & Cover Sheet Magic Tokens
Description

The ability to use Magic Tokens in the KDM Email & Cover Sheet preferences to be able to add DCP Marker informtion to the generated files. EG. "First Frame of End Credits: $FFEC" or "First Frame of Moving Credits: $FFMC".
This helps cinemas servers that don't have the ability to read the marker content automatically and need to fill this info manually for cueing.

I should note that this includes Notifications too. It is standard practice, with most of the distributors anyway, to include marker info in the mailouts.

I don't understand what you mean by "Notifications"... can you clarify that?

Preferences / Notifications.
The popup or email that can be used on job completion. This one is probobably not important though. KDM Email & Cover Sheets are though.

It looks like these markers would be the first information about the CPL that would be included in the KDM email - as it stands I thought the KDM email should only be concerned with the KDM. Do you have any thoughts about that?

Most of the distributors include this in their KDM emails. It is only a few indipenants that don't include it. Here is a few examples:

OK, this will need some thought, as KDMs can be made from DKDMs without the DCP and so without any access to marker information. I'll probably add the change for the cover sheet (since that's much easier) and then think about what to do with the KDM emails.

Maybe when creating the DKDM, grab the marker info from the DCP and store with the DKDM info?
