Still Image (title pages)

Post by RNM »

I'm putting together a collection of short films, trying to publish them all as one long DCP file.

Trying to add title pages between films, but unable to load Word, Publisher of PDF files. Any suggestions of how I can add title slides in?

Thanks, apologies for my ignorance!

Hi there,
You would need to export your pages as some kind of bitmap, e.g. PNG, JPEG, TIFF... is that possible?

Thanks for the help. Feedback from the projectionist is that all the shorts and stills look great. Converted all sorts of shorts on my laptop at home, saved them on a portable hard drive. Shorts ranged from 1950's footage from National Archieves to 2008 to 2015.

Projectionist was genuinely surprised as usually the DIY home conversions 'end up being rubbish' on his experience. The projector he uses only plays DCPs.

So thanks!
