Creating DCP/IMF Supplemental
Packages
Once created, DaVinci Resolve has the ability to reimport a DCP or IMF so that you can
overwrite parts that need to be updated with new media, in order to export a “Supplemental
Package,” which is effectively a new version of the program that combines the new overwritten
parts of the program with the old version, such that you can deliver just the changes.
NOTE: Supplemental packages are only supported using the Kakadu encoder and
decoder; this is not compatible with DCP or IMF packages created using EasyDCP.
To avoid issues, disable “Use easyDCP decoder” in the Decode Options panel of the
DaVinci Resolve System Preferences.
Importing a DCP or IMF Into a Timeline
1 Using the Media Storage browser in the Media page, find and select the DCP or IMF,
and check the header of the Metadata Editor to verify that your media is suitable for
creating a supplemental package. Supported IMF profiles will be displayed in the
Metadata Viewer.
