I tried to do a dpx render; it came with all the images and a TOC file<br>
that doesn't have the links to the images. Then I created a second TOC<br>
file using imagelist.sh. A TOC came up with the links to the dpx<br>
images. This doesn't work when imported into CinGG; it's obvious<br>
because imagelist.sh uses only jpeg images and not dpx.<br>
So I took the first TOC and pasted in the links from the second TOC.<br>
This TOC+ works in CinGG and Natron; it doesn't work in Kdenlive and<br>
OpenShot (but I don't know if these programs support DPX).</blockquote><br>
