Getting Started
Afterwards the DCDM clips will be visible in the contents area of the
bin. However, because the software registers the added video clip(s) as
RGB clips (as stated in the image files’ headers), you have to change the
color space of the added clip(s) manually:
 Open the properties of the video clip(s) of the DCDM in the bin
(context menu of bin clip » Properties…).
Then the properties window of the bin clip(s) will be displayed on the
screen.
 In this window set the color space settings to X’Y’Z’ (XYZ) and con-
firm your alteration with the OK button.

 Next, add the video clip(s) of the DCDM to the video track(s) of the
timeline.
 Add the audio clip(s) of the DCDM to the audio tracks of the time-
line.
 If necessary adapt the routing of the audio tracks that now contain
audio data so that they are suited for the DCP to be created (see
section “Possible Formats for a DCI Mastering” on page 2-4).
With this the DCDM clips are added to the timeline of the Edit Tool and
they will be used for the creation of the digital cinema content. You may
now continue the preparation as described later in this chapter (see sec-
tion “Adding Subtitles” on page 2-10 and/or section “Setting Reels”
on page 2-18).
The properties of several clips can be changed in a single
step by selecting the clips in the bin and then opening their
properties.
Once X’Y’Z’ has been selected as the color space, the color ma-
trix setting (YUV matrix) will switch to the correct color matrix
automatically. With this setting made, an automatic color space
conversion from RGB to X’Y’Z’ will be prevented during the
creation of the DCP.
If your material is in YCxCz (i.e. it was processed with a YUV
matrix beforehand), the color space setting must be set to YUV.
Additionally, the appropriate YUV matrix that was used for the
material during processing must be set manually (setting YUV
matrix).
