01What These Are

Hue targeted density tools built the way print film behaves: colors get deeper and richer instead of louder. Engineered from chart measurement, not eyeballed presets, with neutrals and skin protected at every strength. These are the exact tools running on our commercial work.

02The Tools

DensitySeven vectors in one node: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta and global, plus skin preserve.

Skin CheckShows you exactly where skin sits in the frame, with a mask preview and deviation readout.

ContrastContrast that behaves like density instead of a video knob. Shadows gain weight, highlights keep their color.

Heat MapFalse color diagnostic showing where density and exposure land across the frame.

Sat MapA saturation readout of the whole image. Spot zones about to clip before they do.

Tool 06In final testing. Ships free to every owner the day it lands.

03Who It's For

For You If

You grade in Resolve Studio and know your way around a node tree.

You want film density without stacking six plugins to fake it.

You care about skin staying clean while everything around it gets pushed.

Not For You If

You run the free version of Resolve. DCTLs require Studio, no way around it. The Film LUTs work everywhere though.

You want one click looks. These are instruments, not filters. If that's the goal, the LUTs are your product.

04Delivery & Updates

Instant download: the .dctl files plus a one page install guide, in Resolve in five minutes. Updates are free for life, when a tool improves or the sixth ships, re-download from your order email and replace the files. Filenames never change, so your saved projects keep working.

05Goes Well With

Film LUTs

The finished looks, baked to .cube. Works in free Resolve, Premiere and Final Cut.
