Everything you need to get your film into a cinema. Correctly made, thoroughly checked, and delivered on time.
Every DCP we make is human checked. We check incoming video levels, frame rate, audio channel assignment, subtitle timecode, credit roll motion, naming convention and checksum verification as standard on every job. Not as an add-on. As the job.
Full DCI specification DCPs for features and documentaries of any length. We handle the complete process from receiving your source material, through QC, encoding, certificate verification and delivery.
We accept source material in any format, though we’ll always tell you the ideal specification for best results. DPX, TIFF, ProRes 4444, ProRes 422HQ, DNxHD — we can work with what you have.
All feature DCPs include: ISDCF correct naming, SMPTE metadata, checksum verification, and a reference QC playback.

We’ve helped hundreds of short filmmakers get their films onto cinema screens for the first time. We understand the festival circuit, the technical requirements of major festivals, and the things that go wrong when DCPs are submitted without proper checking.
We work with festival partners including Raindance to provide preferred rates for official selections. If your film has been selected for a festival we partner with, ask us about partner pricing.
We deliver via Filemail (our recommended managed UDP transfer service) as standard, with physical USB media available at cost.

Pricing based on clean source material. Frame rate conforming and audio remediation quoted separately.
We can include access material tracks — audio description, hard of hearing closed captions, hearing impaired audio — in your DCP. These need to be created by specialist facilities before they come to us; we include them correctly flagged so cinema servers route them to the right equipment.
If your film has BFI funding, access materials are a condition of that funding. We can advise on what’s needed and point you to the right specialists for creation.
Open caption subtitles can be included from an SRT file (standard bottom-centre white Helvetica with black edge) or from a full SMPTE Cinema XML for precise positioning.
