Hi everyone! I am a first year film student and a film of mine has been accepted to a festival, for which I need to create a DCP.
I have watched a few videos online about how to make one, but I am stuck on the audiolevels. Are these (https://imgur.com/RXSin6q) okay? Sorry in advance that it is in dutch, but I didn't know how to change the language of DCP-o-matic.
Are these audiolevels okay?

Re: Are these audiolevels okay?
It depends on the character of the clip, wether it 'is' soft, or loud. But based on typical levels of main stream content, your levels are too soft. I suggest you raise them in DCP-o-matic by 9dB. Based on the true peak value, that is also the maximum gain obtainable without clipping. Ignore the red/yellow warning, as long as you don't hit True Peak at zero.
Your audio appears to be mono/dual mono (not much stereo). If it's mostly voice/dialogue, +9dB should be okay.
