Pricing — The DCP Works

Pricing

Honest rates, nothing hidden.

Flat-rate shorts, transparent per-minute features, and a frame-level QC report on every order — reviewed by a real person, at no extra charge.

Included With Every DCP

  • A full frame-level Quality Control report, reviewed by a real person on every order, at no extra charge.
  • DCI-compliant encoding built and checked on our own mastering pipeline.
Shorts Under 15 minutes are a flat price — QC included, no setup fee.
Features 15+ minutes are per-minute. A one-time $89 setup fee applies to 15–40 min; over 40 min has none.
Same-Day We need your source files by 2:00 PM ET, Monday through Friday.
Encryption KDM encryption is $50 per key request.
Delivery Turnaround times shown are for digital download. Hard-drive shipping and electronic theater delivery are available at an added rate.

Same-Day Turnaround

We need every source file in hand by 2:00 PM ET, and we run same-day builds on weekdays only. Files that arrive after 2:00 PM ET, or on a Saturday or Sunday, start on the next business day.

The cutoff is firm because a same-day order still gets the full mastering pass and the same frame-level QC review as every other order — we just compress it into a single working day.

Films · 15 Minutes & Over
