You can export DPX files while taking advantage of all their inherent properties, such as LUTs and DPX Transfer Characteristics.
To export a DPX file:
- Open the clip library containing the clip that you want to export.
You can also do this from the Desktop. See Exporting Image Files.
- Select the clip that you want to export and click Export Image.
The Export Image menu appears.
- In the file browser, browse to the directory to which you want to export the clip.
- From the File Format box, select DPX.
- To change the name of the exported DPX file, enter a name in the Name field.
NoteTo avoid filename compatibility issues upon export, underscores will be substituted in your filename in place of any of the
following characters: ` # ~ @ $ % ^ & * ( ) [ ] { } < > \ | / ! ? , ; : ' "
- Specify whether you are exporting a single frame or a clip in the Frame/Clip box.
- Enable Use Clip TC Names, if you would like to use the timecode contained in your clip to number the exported files.
- Adjust any other file numbering parameters. See Export Options Group.
- From the Bit Depth box, select a bit depth value.
DPX files can be exported as 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit clips.
- To use a predefined LUT, load it using the Colour Correction Type box.
See Applying a LUT on Import or Export.
- Adjust any other parameters for resizing options. See Resizing Group.
- Select a DPX Transfer Characteristic.
This is used to identify the attributes associated with a particular film or video format, such as resolution, frame rate,
and colour space. The commonly used options are listed here. See DPX Transfer Characteristics Group.
Select: |
For: |
Unspecified |
Images where the format is not specified. |
Logarithmic |
Negative film scanners recording status M densities. |
Linear |
Video images which have built-in gamma correction. This refers to images having a true linear quantization scheme (such as
CG-originated material).
|
Printing Density |
Negative film scans which use the SMPTE Printing Density settings. SMPTE Printing Densities use status M density measurements
with a higher gain in the red component.

- To generate thumbnail proxies for the file browser, select an option from the Proxy Generation box. See Proxies Group.
- Click Export.
The DPX files are generated and saved in the specified location.
When the export is finished, you are returned to the clip library.
