DCP Wizard packages your finished picture and sound into a Digital Cinema Package the projector will accept, ready for the screen.
Free and open source under the AGPL. Grab the desktop app for your machine, or the command-line version if you script your deliveries.
Everything from ingest to a verified drive, grouped by the job in front of you.
Drop in a ProRes, H.264, H.265, or DNxHR movie (.mov, .mp4, .mxf), or a DPX, TIFF, EXR, or PNG frame sequence. DCP Wizard handles the conversion to cinema JPEG 2000 for you.
Bring in ARRI, RED, and Blackmagic RAW masters and apply a 3D LUT on the way in, so your look is baked before packaging.
Resolve reels straight from your timeline (EDL or Final Cut XML) and build a finished multi-reel DCP end to end, keeping the reel plan and manifest as artifacts.
Ship a modern SMPTE package or a legacy Interop one, whichever the cinema's server expects.
2K and 4K at standard rates, plus high frame rate up to 120 fps at 2K.
Scope, flat, or full. Scale, crop, or letterbox to land exactly on the DCI frame you need.
Split a long feature into reels automatically, with sample-accurate audio and clean subtitle boundaries at every reel.
Build one package with a version per language: several playlists share the same picture and sound, each with its own subtitles or dub.
Package Dolby Atmos alongside your PCM mix for immersive-capable rooms.
Turn an SRT into cinema subtitles: convert it, package it into the DCP, or burn it into the picture for festivals. Multiple languages supported.
Carry HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision through to the package, or author a DCI HDR Addendum DCP (ST 2084 PQ, P3-D65) for next-generation screens.
Rec.709, P3-D65, and P3-DCI convert to the XYZ colour space projectors expect, so what you graded is what plays.
Encrypt the package and cut a KDM per screen. Batch KDMs for a whole release in one pass, and re-wrap from a distribution KDM when a new venue is added.
DCP Doctor checks your package against SMPTE compliance and hands you an HTML report, so problems surface before the package leaves your desk.
Copy to a CRU or USB cinema drive with a free-space check and a post-copy hash check, so what lands on the drive matches what you built.
Turn a finished DCP back into ProRes or H.264 to screen internally or send out for approval.
The same delivery workflow, free and open source, against a €2,998 (or €138/month) product.
