editing How to check for quality before making DCP

Peace to all

I'd be happy to hear from those who know, how to do a quality control viewing of my movie before making a DCP for theatrical projection. Should I view it on a big screen tv? Directly from Premiere or as a Pro res 4444? It seems like everything should be already tweaked before you make the DCP, right?
 
The only way to check the quality for theatrical projection is to screen it in a theatre. Many post houses will invite you to their facilities for this. You might try approaching theatres in your area (especially independent, university, etc.) about using their facilities. This is one of the factors contributing to the cost of making a DCP.

Thank you, Lone Banana.

A professional, color-calibrated monitor and scopes are indispensable in the edit suite. That’s how you know what your images look like before they go to DCP.
