easyDCP Creator+  All license types All versions

 

easyDCP Creator+ generally allows you to open and further edit encrypted DCPs. Depending on how the film key is provided, there are different workflows for editing an encrypted DCP:


1. You have an easyDCP Digest (*.dcpdig)

If you have an easyDCP Digest, easyDCP assumes that you are the rights holder of the DCP. 
In this case, you can edit the DCP without any restrictions. 
This includes, for example:

  • Changes to the content
  • Creating new versions
  • Removing encryption

This means you can take full advantage of all the features of the easyDCP Plus software.


2. You have a (D)KDM (Distribution KDM)

If you have a compatible KDM (DKDM) for your easyDCP Creator+, your options are limited. 
You can:

  • Add additions to the existing DCP
  • Export these as so-called version files (Supplemental DCPs)

However, you cannot:

  • Remove the encryption
  • Integrate new content directly into the existing DCP
  • Create an easyDCP digest

Important Note: These restrictions are intended to protect the content. Rights holders expect their DCPs to be handled responsibly, and these restrictions ensure that their rights are protected.

This message contains important information for customers who have created encrypted DCPs using the easyDCP Resolve Plug-In and want to migrate them.

If you come into the situation that:

  • your easyDCP Resolve license needs to be transferred to another computer, or
  • your easyDCP Resolve license must be reactivated due to an operating system update, or
  • a new operating system installation on the same hardware is required, including the reactivation of easyDCP Resolve,

we would like to point out that already created, encrypted DCPs can't longer be opened on the target system.
Also you can not generate KDMs for these DCPs on the newly activated system.

In order to be able to continue to process the DCPs (or create KDMs), the native film keys (so-called DCP digest) of the respective DCPs must be transferred manually into the folder structure of the newly activated easyDCP Resolve.

Please proceed as follows:

  1. Copy all contained files from the following directory:
    • OS X:
      • /Users/<user>/Library/Containers/com.blackmagic-design.DaVinciResolveLite/Data/Library/Application Support/easyDCP/KDMs
    • Windows:
      • C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\easyDCP\KDMs
  2. Transfer these files to the corresponding directory on which the newly activated easyDCP Resolve is located.

Note: The use of these files is independent of whether your target system uses the same operating system or not. If you have easyDCP+ standalone application, these DCP-Digest files can also be re-processed here.
