Apply video filter on J2K

Post by barber »

Hello,

In recent versions, it's not possible to apply any video filters to existing DCP or to individual JPEG 2000 MXFs (the "Edit" button is greyed out). I remember it was possible before. Is it an intended change?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, looks as if that is true. Most people will use J2K or DCPs explicitly for passtrough without recompression, so, any changes to image, incl. filters, would force recompression.

That said - maybe video filters could be enabled for J2K content if recompression is ticked. I understand that for 'weird' DCPs, applying filters to J2K content can be useful. One could also force-activate J2K recompression automatically if video filters are used.
