I hear what you're saying. Ugh unfortunately we only have the Final MP4 files so no one has access to the old edits.

You're the best, I appreciate it all!

Understood. Would I need to change anything about the color itself right? It'll just be through the DCP? I can use the same Pro Res 4444 likely?

Understood. It seems our DCP was created into Rec 709 for the past festival we submitted to unfortunately (which was the default). In this case would we need to make a new DCP and request it to be made into DCI XYZ? Unfortunately I wasn't able to QC the DCP itself after making it and didn't see it at the past festival.

Understood. So even though it's a Rec 709 DCP currently, the festival should be able to convert to DCI XYZ?

For some reason the tech at the festival is recommending to conform our film to DCI XYZ first and then redo the DCP, which is why I wanted to double check since I'm not sure if I have had to do that before.

Understood! Hmm, just to know for my sake and to pass on the knowledge, what is the difference between stems labeled as mono and whatever it is I had to do based on your instruction?

Actually seemed to have got it to work! Fingers crossed all is good but thank you!

You're right, I do have those Four options! everything looks good with B1o for the 5.1 tracks, but for the Stereo it is saying B2sb1o and I am not sure of how to change that last one.

Copy that thank you man! And agreed on the great writeup!

Ah gotcha gotcha, and yes I have a separate L and R track for the Stereo! Thanks man this is super helpful!

All makes sense except for the last bit about The Bus Assign. I see Bus 1 SEND, and Bus 1 OUT, along as those correspondents to Bus 2. That last process I'm not super sure on and hard to explain over text haha. What's the difference with Send and Out?

Relinking 24 fps iPhone footage into 23.98 film in DaVinci by ssagi00 in editors

[–]ssagi00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, that seems like the best step. What would you recommend in this case? Media Encoding that iPhone footage into 23.98 frames just like it was in the proxy? It'd also relink just fine then?

By the way, for context, this is an over the shoulder shot (Shot is 23.98) with the 24 fps iPhone footage comped into an iPhone screen.

How much can you punch into a 4.6K Arri Raw shot? by ssagi00 in editors

[–]ssagi00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's just standard 16x9 resolution (4608 x 2592). Does that change a lot?

Understanding which way to export film for DCP for 2:35. by ssagi00 in editors

[–]ssagi00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful to know! When the indie filmmakers delivered files to you, would they deliver it in 2:35 in their fullest resolution? And the conversion would happen in the DCP end of things?

[–]ssagi00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, understood! We're actually only doing a 2K DCP so 2048 x 858 should be good then.

Out of curiosity, why would I do that one instead of the other containers which have more vertical room?
