GR Check Nodes
Stop Guessing. Grade with Absolute Confidence.
How many times have you felt this uncertainty? You stare at your scopes, you squint at your monitor, and you ask yourself...
"Are my highlights really safe, or are they clipped?""Are these skin tones actually natural, or are they a little too green?"
Guesswork leads to mistakes, and mistakes look unprofessional. To deliver quality work every time, you need to be certain. What if you had a set of precision-calibrated diagnostic tools? A digital laser level and a laser measure to ensure that your creative work is technically perfect.
This is the GR Check Nodes.
Your Visual Guide to a Perfect Grade
The GR Check Nodes is a simple but powerful diagnostic tool designed for one purpose: to help you grade with technical confidence. It replaces guesswork with a clear, instant visual guide directly on your image, allowing you to identify and fix common problems in seconds.
This pack includes two essential diagnostic nodes:
1. The Clipping Check Node
Stop wondering if you're losing information in the extremes. This node provides a simple visual guide to data loss, overlaying a clear indicator on your footage.
- Clipped highlights instantly show up as bright Red.
- Crushed shadows instantly show up as bright Blue. If you don't see Red or Blue, your exposure is safe. It's that simple.
2. The Skin Tone Check Node
Nailing perfect skin tones is one of the hardest parts of color grading. This node acts as your visual compass, pointing you directly to a natural and pleasing result.
- Yellow is your target for perfect, balanced skin.
- Green or Blue overlays show you if your color balance has shifted, so you know exactly how to correct it.
Who Is This For?
- Beginners who want a reliable safety net to avoid common technical mistakes.
- Experienced Videographers who need a fast, trustworthy quality-check before delivering a project.
- Professional Colorists who want an intuitive visual tool to complement their scopes for a faster, more confident workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Isn't this included with the GR PowerGrade Pro? Yes, it is. This standalone version is offered for users who already have a color grading workflow they love but want to add this specific diagnostic toolset to it without purchasing the full PowerGrade Pro system.
- Why should I use this instead of just looking at my scopes? Scopes are essential and you should always use them! However, scopes show you the data for the entire image at once. These nodes provide a visual overlay on your image, allowing you to see exactly which specific pixels are clipping or how the skin tones are shifting in context. It's a more intuitive and often faster way to diagnose certain problems.
- Does this work on the free version of DaVinci Resolve? Yes. These are lightweight, efficient node structures that work perfectly in both the free and Studio versions of DaVinci Resolve.
