DCP without new rendering the existing DCP

Post by kinocity »

I have a existing DCP and will add a new clip before or after the DCP.
What is the way to export the new DCP without rendering the existing DCP,
only rendering the new Clip.

It's the same problem with subtitles to burn in in a existing DCP,
without changing the data rate.

regards Pascal

There are different ways to do it - first by adding the existing DCP and the additional clips, second by using the OV/VF approach. OV/VF is useful if you want to distribute both versions of the DCP. You will have two CPLs to ingest, OV with the main feature, and VF which only contains the additonal clips. In order to play the main feature with the additional clips, you have to ingest BOTH CPLs.

First is the best option if you only need one DCP with the additional clips included.

Carsten,

Can you describe the process a littel bit more clearly than the help file does?

Should I create a new project and load the existing DCP folder..? the help file is not clear here. Also if not what files should one load from the existing DCP folder if all I want to do is to substitue the audio file?

Grateful for any help on this
