Partner discounts for DCP: how it works for recurring clients

If your team delivers DCPs regularly—festivals, studios, distributors, post houses—partner discounts for DCP can reduce per-project cost and make scheduling more predictable.

The goal of a partner relationship is operational: repeatable delivery, faster quoting, cleaner version control, and consistent outcomes (cinema-ready DCPs that ingest and play reliably).

Who partner discounts are built for

Partner discounts fit teams that:

  • deliver multiple titles per month/quarter
  • support festival lineups or screening programs
  • operate in distribution/post workflows
  • need repeatable standards and predictable timelines

What partners typically gain (beyond price)

1) Faster quoting and scheduling

Recurring clients tend to have consistent delivery patterns. That allows faster turnaround planning.

2) Cleaner version control

When multiple stakeholders are involved, the risk is sending the wrong version. A partner workflow emphasizes:

  • one final package per delivery
  • clear labeling rules
  • consistent intake checklist

3) Predictable subtitle handling

Subtitle scope stays consistent:

  • client provides final .SRT
  • team ingests SRT + performs technical checks
  • no subtitle text proofreading/rewrite included

4) Consistent cinema-standard audio delivery

For theatre experience, 5.1 is the cinema-standard. A partner workflow aligns expectations early so deliverables remain consistent.

How to qualify (simple)

To propose partner pricing, the team usually needs:

  • expected volume (projects/month)
  • typical runtimes
  • typical deadlines (standard vs rush frequency)
  • subtitle frequency (how often SRT is included)
