Any plans to add the import and export of DPX files?
On my current job, I had to open a DPX file from a sequence of live-action plates and I found Krita wasn’t able to do it. I had to resort to getting my hands covered in slime by using Photoshop. 
I’d love to be able to fully rely on Krita as my main 2d app.
We still use DPX for output frames when on TVC’s and Film work so it’s still a format used in the industry.

The Import Video Animation dialog directly uses FFmpeg to open video files, and Krita’s built-in FFmpeg actually does support .dpx. If you switch its Open File filter to All Files, it should work.
However, the Render Animation dialog uses a hardcoded lists of formats which does not include .dpx (.mkv, .mp4, .webm, .gif, .apng, .webp, .ogg), so you would not be able to export it back to .dpx without using an intermediate format and another program (either FFmpeg from the command line, or something else).

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it failed again. Maybe coz it’s a single frame, not a sequence? I’ll keep trying every time I need to work on a DPX in case there is something dodgy with this file. Oh, I found Krita opened the RAW footage. .MXF through the video animation importer and then I was able to export out to .EXR. That’s pretty cool as well. Cheers for that mate.
