Blackmagic Davinci Resolve STUDIO - How to Make a DCP
(note you must have the paid version of the program the free version will not work)
CMB 4.120A and the Grad Hallway CMB 4.112 EXCEPT SUITES A AND B have the studio version of resolve
Step One you need to export a 5.1 2K or 4K file in AVID or Premiere | |
Open Davinci Resolve Studio | B |
click on "New Project" | |
Name the project and click on "Create" | |
Click on Media Tab | |
Find the clip with the 5.1 interleaved audio that was exported Right click it and choose "Add into Media Pool" | |
Choose to Change the frame rate Click "Change" | |
Next - Go to the Edit Tab | |
If you have a .mxf that AVID exported it is a surround file but we have to tell Davinci that it is 5.1If your file is not an .mxf then skip the next 4 steps and go to creating a timeline | |
MXF Only- Right click the MXF File and choose >Clip Attributes | |
MXF OnlyGo to the Audio TabChoose Format 5.1 and Tracks 1 and choose Add | |
MXF OnlyNext click on the trashcan to delete tracks 1-6 mono tracks | |
MXF OnlyWhen all that is left is the 5.1 track then click on OK | |
Now that the .mxf file is setup correctlyEveryone follow the rest of the workflowRight click in the Media Pool area >Choose >Timeline>CreateNew Timeline | |
Set the Timeline to be 1 Video Track 1 audio track that is 5.1 Uncheck Empty Timeline Click on "Create" | |
Click on the "Gear" Icon to set the correct aspect ratio for the timeline | |
Choose Master Settings We have a "flat" DCP 1998 x 1080 so make the timeline resolution 1998 x 1080 Same as if you had a 2048 x 858 Scope DCP Click on "Save" | |
Check Image Scaling Use this only if someone has given you a file that is not scope or flat Stretch Frame to all corners or try all the input scaling settings to make sure you are scaled right | |
One Note if you need to scale your file in the timeline Click on the upper left hand window and choose Inspector | |
Here you can scale the image if you have a flat to scope conversion In other words if you have a flat DCP playing at a scope venue you can scale it up and loose a little of the top and bottom .110 | |
Next go to >Fairlight>Bus Format | |
Choose Format 5.x > 5.1 NOT 5.1 FILM!!Click on OK |
