Out of curiosity I just made a quick test - Doing as Carsten says
(adding the DCP twice) and choosing DCP->Reels->Split video
by content, makes it possible to check "Use the DCP's
[video/audio] as OV and make VF" for both instances of the added
DCP. Did som trimming and voila I got a VF with the middle of the
OV taken out. DCP-o-matic does excactly the CPL manipulation one
could wish for :-)

I wonder if what Carsten suggest can be done solely by CPL manipulation, by having the reel twice in the AssetList and setting EntryPoint and Duration for each of the two identical reels to produce the content before and after the deleted scene.
It would be kind of neat - That way I guess you would only need to make a VF that could be emailed to the cinema :-)

Hi, is it possible to remove a segment of an existing DCP? I would like to remove 1 minute of video and audio (same scene) from an existing DCP to create a shorter version. If this is possible, how may I do so?
Hi Richard,
there is no direct way to cut a piece out, but to achieve the same, you simply load your content/DCP twice into a project, trim from end on the first instance, and trim from start on the second instance. The new DCP will be seamless after creation, and it won't take much time, as the creation will only be a copy process, not a re-encoding.
You need to set the project/DCP parameters identical to those of the source DCP, though (resolution, container type, frame rate, etc.)
