GR Advanced DCTLs

Go Beyond the Limits of Your Software.

Have you ever tried to perfect a specific color, only to have the built-in tools fail you? You try to shift the hue of a green tree, and suddenly the actor's skin looks sickly. You try to add richness to a blue sky, and you get ugly digital artifacts. At a certain point, you hit the ceiling of what your software can do.

What if you could break through that ceiling? What if, in your architect's workshop, you had a set of custom-built, laser-guided power tools? Tools engineered for tasks so specific and precise that off-the-shelf hardware simply can't compete.

This is the GR Advanced DCTLs.

Surgical Precision, Engineered From Code.

These are not presets or LUTs. After spending several weeks coding and developing my own specific methods not available anywhere else, I created these DCTLs to be the best available on the market and to function as tools never seen before.

DCTLs (DaVinci Resolve Control Language scripts) are custom-coded tools that offer a level of powerful color manipulation not available in the standard version of DaVinci Resolve. They are designed for professional users who need the highest possible level of precision and smoothness in their work.

This pack includes two powerhouse DCTLs, each with a dedicated purpose:

1. GR Tetra Hue Pro: The Ultimate Hue Shifter This is your tool for surgical, yet incredibly smooth, control over the six core color vectors (Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta). Finally, you can make clean, isolated adjustments to a specific hue without creating ugly banding or messing up neighboring colors. It’s the control you’ve always wished Resolve’s native tools had.

2. GR Density Pro: Add Cinematic Weight and Feeling to Your Colors So much of what makes digital footage look "fake" is that the color feels thin and weightless; you can't feel the emotion of the grade. This DCTL is the antidote. It's designed to add true cinematic density—a richness and realism—that makes your images feel tangible.

• Individual Density and Desaturation sliders: Add weight to or tastefully desaturate specific colors, giving you incredible creative control.
• Global Density and Desaturation sliders: Adjust the overall feeling of density across your entire image for maximum impact.
• Game-Changing Sliders:
  • Skin Preserve: This revolutionary slider intelligently protects your skin tones from being affected by any changes you make with the DCTL.
  • Highlight Preserve: Similarly, this protects the delicate information in your highlights, preventing them from becoming muddy or discolored.

Who Is This For?

• Professional Colorists who need to solve complex color problems with precision and speed.
• High-End Videographers & Filmmakers who demand ultimate creative control over their final image.
• Technical Artists who understand the limitations of standard color tools and want to expand their toolkit.

Unlock a New Level of Control.

Stop letting your software dictate the limits of your creativity. These tools were born out of necessity for tasks that standard tools simply couldn't handle. Now they can be part of your workflow.

CRITICAL REQUIREMENT

These are advanced tools that require access to the DaVinci Resolve scripting API. Therefore, this product requires the Studio (Paid) version of DaVinci Resolve and will NOT work in the free version.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Do I need these if I already have the GR PowerGrade Pro? The GR PowerGrade Pro is the complete workshop, and these DCTLs are the specialized, high-end power tools for the most challenging tasks. If you buy these separately, they can be dropped into the dedicated spot already built for them inside the GR PowerGrade Pro.However, in order to save money, I recommend not buying the GR PowerGrade Pro and these DCTLs separately, but rather as a bundle in the GR Ultimate Grading Suite.
• Will this work on the free version of DaVinci Resolve? No. DCTLs are custom scripts that require the paid, Studio version of DaVinci Resolve to run. There is no workaround for the free version.
• What exactly do you mean by "Density"? How is it different from saturation? Saturation makes colors more intense, but it can often feel digital and thin. Density adds a feeling of "weight" or "richness" to a color, almost like making the pigment thicker and more opaque. It’s a more nuanced and cinematic way to add impact to your image without making it look overly "digital."
