Hello there,
I played around with the DCP import feature of v2. I know quite a few people would love to
be able to edit out certain passages of trailers, etc. - e.g. a trailing 'in 3D'
or 'from Dec 5th'. This can be done, but with the current implementation only for
both audio and video tracks of a DCP. Very often it would be necessary to do a split edit,
apply different trim points to video and audio track. This can only be done in DCP-o-matic
when importing the audio as a separate file. Now it is possible to extract an audio.MXF to
a multichannel WAV file (DCP-o-matic will not read audio from an MXF file currently, as it
is trying to find video in it). But maybe there is a way to dettach the audio track of a
DCP so that it appears as a separate content? I know this leads to the discussion what
DCP-o-matic is and should be capable of. But my intention is not to boost it's
capabilities to a full fledged editor, but to make the most of the existing GUI with
simple actions.
