教程:用Adobe Premiere Pro和Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014导出数字电影

Adobe released an update to all of its Creative Cloud applications last week, 在Premiere Pro和Adobe Media Encoder中提供的新功能之一是能够导出数字电影包. If you're primarily a streaming media/online video producer, you may be familiar with this format as a producer, but you're definitely familiar with it as a consumer. 如果你在过去的几年里去过电影院，并且注意到那是一家数字电影院, the film you watched was delivered as a DCP. 

What's in a DCP?

A DCP is not necessarily one file; it's actually a group of files, 通常由专门制作短片DCP文件的后期制作公司制作, independent films, Hollywood blockbusters, and so forth. 如果你想在数字影院里展示你的作品，而不是, 或者除了其他交付媒体，如点播在线视频, DVD, or Blu-ray Disc--you have to produce a DCP. 

在过去的几年里，创建DCP已经成为一种黑色艺术. It's not a simple process, or one understood by, 甚至大多数生产者都无法获得，除非他们有非常昂贵的, specialized software, 或者花很多钱给其他有能力创造它们的人. Some people have taken to programming DCP files themselves, 以及使用终端创建所有必要的XML和MXF文件.

Adobe has teamed up with a company called Quvis that makes an application called Wraptor (now in version 3.它已经在市场上存在了好几年，很多好莱坞大公司都用它来为大预算电影制作DCP文件. In researching DCP, I read that some Hollywood film projects will budget up to $20,000 to create the DCP. That may not be a big portion of some budgets, 但它让你知道，当这部电影要在数字影院的大屏幕上放映时，最终的制作结果是多么重要. 

Why DCP?

You may be wondering why, as a streaming media/online video producer, you'd want to produce a DCP in the first place. 一个原因是您希望您的内容出现在尽可能多的屏幕上. 作为在线视频制作人，我们在电视和移动设备上都经历过这种情况. Of course, theaters have been around longer than any of those venues, 但传统上，如果你一直在制作在线视频，你就没有为影院制作过视频. But with Adobe Media Encoder's new DCP features, 您已经将此功能内置于您正在使用的应用程序中, 您可以通过对导出工作流进行一些小的修改或添加来开始使用它.

假设你有一个公司活动，有很多观众需要去一个中心地点, such as a local theater, 去看一些在公司总部预先录制的东西. 或者你也可以像我在本教程中使用的项目(Figure 1, below), this live concert footage that turned out to be a big hit, 客户想在更大的都会区或不同城市的一些影院放映.

因此，你现在可以创建与所有不同数字影院系统兼容的内容，并以你想要的方式显示它.
