LOOK / LAB / PRINT is a film-inspired grading system for DaVinci Resolve Studio. Three OpenFX plugins work together to take an image from its first adjustments to its final rendering. Start in Lab to balance and shape the image. Use Color Shift to refine individual colors. Then finish in Print, where you can choose a clean Film Informed rendering, build a full negative and print look, or find the balance between them. The workflow is made for colorists who...

Film Elements is a collection of DCTL tools designed to reproduce the subtle qualities of analog film within a digital workflow. Each module emulates a specific optical, photochemical, or physical characteristic such as grain, halation, vignette, lens distortion, flicker, gate weave, and surface artifacts like dust, dirt, and hair.

Judging an image in isolation is difficult. Without a direct reference, it’s hard to know whether the image is too dark, too flat, or oversaturated. Side-by-side comparison reveals subtle differences instantly. Scopes like the waveform or vectorscope provide numerical feedback but lack visual context. The Test Strip DCTL solves this by displaying multiple grading variations simultaneously, allowing precise visual evaluation of exposure, contrast, and saturation. Inspired by the traditional test strips of photography, this tool applies the same practical approach...

This pack provides procedural layout tools for DaVinci Resolve. These DCTLs are designed for editors and colorists who want precise, controllable split screens without relying on PNG overlays, Fusion, or fixed templates. All mattes are generated in real time, and every layout automatically adapts to resolution and aspect ratio. You can adjust spacing, margins, rounded corners, rows, shapes, and geometry directly from the Color Page using simple sliders. This replaces static split-screen assets with a flexible and fully adjustable workflow....

The “Looks” in this pack are designed specifically for ARRI ALEXA LogC3. If you’re working with different camera systems, my recommendation is to start your node tree with a Color Space Transform (CST). This will allow you to convert your camera’s log space to ARRI ALEXA LogC3. The “LOOK” DCTL in this pack generates an output that mimics the qualities of negative film emulation, similar to a log film negative scan. Once you’ve applied a “LOOK”, you can further refine...

Welcome to my course, where I will guide you through reverse engineering a grade from scratch using behind-the-scenes images.These images are captured with still cameras, while the films were shot on various cinema cameras, each with its own color science. The goal of this course isn’t to perfectly match a single frame. Instead, we will focus on analyzing the scopes and building a simple node tree to achieve a look similar to the original film. We will explore the popular...

Our Color Palette DCTL Tool extracts colors from any film still, providing a clear reference for maintaining visual consistency and enhancing storytelling. Ideal for filmmakers, DoPs, and colorists, this tool ensures mood continuity and aesthetic harmony. https://youtu.be/tc2OF7iGtzY

These DCTLs enable you to precisely select and modify a specific hue range, adjusting its saturation, density, or hue. Uniquely, these DCTLs also allow you to choose a luminance range within the selected hue, ensuring that adjustments affect only the shadows, midtones, or highlights. This targeted approach enhances precision in color grading, providing optimal control over the visual outcome. https://youtu.be/qk3yY-9VGyM DCTLEs for DaVinci Resolve Studio.Compatible with DaVinci Resolve Studio.MacOS, Windows, Linux.

In the realm of visual storytelling, the composition of each frame plays a pivotal role in conveying the intended message and emotion. That’s why I designed GRID to support filmmakers with a straightforward approach to applying visual alignment grids within DaVinci Resolve. This tool ensures the precise structuring of visuals, whether you’re aiming to maintain straight horizons, achieve perfect central focus, or require fine grid adjustments for meticulous alignment. It’s the ideal solution for filmmakers and video editors seeking reliable...

The “Hue Twist” DCTL works by ‘twisting’ hue values towards their neighboring colors, but the interesting aspect here is that it does so based on the brightness value of the respective hue. Darker areas are automatically shifted towards the opposite adjacent hue value than lighter areas, adding a depth of complexity to the color manipulation process that goes beyond standard hue shift methods. Additionally, the tool offers flexibility in determining the brightness threshold and the intensity of the transition between...

The RGB Mixer in DaVinci Resolve is a powerful but often underused tool. Its potential is huge, but its interface and logic can feel counterintuitive. I built the MONO RGB Mixer DCTL to solve that. It keeps the core math and power of the original RGB Mixer, but presents it in a more intuitive and functional way. With better labeling, organized controls, and extra features like adjustable luminance preservation and direct axis-based adjustments. https://youtu.be/XCvsZ8WDKyY DCTLEs for DaVinci Resolve Studio.Compatible with DaVinci Resolve...

The “Utility DCTL” pack encompasses tools for image analysis and adjustment. It includes the “Balance DCTL” for analyzing skin tones in footage and managing color deviations, the “Clipping DCTL” for identifying and handling clipping in light or dark areas, and the “Isolator” features for color isolation in bright and dark regions, emphasizing ‘pure’ colors. https://youtu.be/czjOAvw79uQ Description DCTLEs for DaVinci Resolve Studio.Compatible with DaVinci Resolve Studio.MacOS, Windows, Linux.
