Create DCI-certified cinema DCPs from your browser.

A DCP is the standard format cinemas and film festivals use to screen films: a package of JPEG 2000 image files and PCM audio following the DCI standard. It is the digital equivalent of a 35 mm print and the only format professional cinema projectors accept.

If your film will screen in a cinema or at a festival with professional projection, yes: the DCP is the only format DCI projectors accept. If it will only be watched online or on home screens, you don't need one. When in doubt, check the festival's rules or your acceptance email.

One fixed price per DCP, with no per-minute rates: still image 19 €, trailer 29 €, short film 59 € in 2K (79 € in 4K) and feature film 149 € in 2K (199 € in 4K), VAT excluded. Verification, preview and technical report always included.

It depends on the length, the resolution and the current queue: from a few minutes for a trailer to a few hours for a 4K feature film. The process starts the moment you submit the job — no multi-day waits — and you can watch the progress in real time from the app.

SMPTE is the current standard and the recommended default choice; Interop is the legacy format some cinemas and festivals still request for compatibility with older projectors. Beka DCP generates both: you pick one in the configuration step.

The usual video containers and codecs: ProRes, DNxHD/DNxHR or H.264/H.265 in .mov, .mp4 or .mkv, among others. For still-image DCPs: JPEG, PNG, TIFF or BMP. When you upload your master, the app analyses it and warns you instantly if it detects any problem.

Yes: the upload travels encrypted over HTTPS, every project is private to its account, and the master is automatically deleted from our servers 72 hours after upload — or earlier, if you delete it yourself from the app.

Nothing is lost: the upload resumes automatically from the exact point where it stopped, without starting over. It works in the browser, with no software to install, and covers the master, audio tracks and subtitles.

The OV (Original Version) is the complete DCP with the original version of the film. A VF (Version File) is a lightweight DCP that reuses the OV's picture and adds different audio or subtitles: for example, a dubbed or subtitled version for another territory. Beka DCP generates the OV and its VFs.

Yes. We accept the usual subtitle formats (SRT, STL, ASS, VTT, TTML…), they are converted to the DCP standard, and you can check them rendered in the browser preview before downloading anything. One subtitle file is supported per version (OV and VF), with its own language tag.

Yes: stereo and 5.1, with configurable channel mapping, using either separate audio tracks or the audio embedded in your master — the app analyses the file and proposes the mapping automatically.

Yes: the DCP complies with the DCI standard, is named following the ISDCF convention and passes an automated verification (dcp_inspect) with a PDF technical report you can attach for the festival. The Short film product covers up to 40 minutes, the usual short-film limit.

Every DCP is automatically verified after encoding and you can also play a real preview in your browser — subtitles included — before downloading it. You also receive the verification report as a PDF.

Your download link (FileMail) is valid for the period you choose when creating the DCP — 1 month included, extendable up to 3 years, and also later from the dashboard — and you can use it as many times as you need, designed to cover a festival run. The files stay on our server for 7 days after encoding, and the master you upload is deleted after 72 hours.

No. You keep all rights and copyright to your material: we only process it to generate the DCP you order and never use it for anything else. It's in writing in our terms of service.

You don't pay. The amount is only authorised when you place the order and is not captured until the DCP passes quality verification; if it fails, the authorisation is released and you are charged nothing.
