How it works

From flat log to a finished shot

Shooting log keeps far more information, but it comes out washed out. Color Grade Resolve does the three steps between that file and a cinematic shot, in the right order and in the same panel.

Sony S-Log3, as shot. The log file straight out of the camera: flat, grey, no contrast. That is normal, and it is exactly what gives you room to grade.

Sony S-Log3, as shot

The log file straight out of the camera: flat, grey, no contrast. That is normal, and it is exactly what gives you room to grade.

Rendered with the plugin’s own engine. The log image was generated with the official inverse S-Log3 formula.

Before and after

One click. Cinema look.

Four shots, four different looks. Move your cursor over each one to see the original.

31 camera profiles

Your camera, converted right

Every profile uses the formula published by its manufacturer (log curve and colour gamut), not third-party LUTs. Pick a brand and compare the log with the conversion.

Sony S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine: Log
Sony S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine: Converted
Sony S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine

The same shot encoded with each camera’s official curve and converted by the plugin.

Creative LUTs

74 looks. None of them filler.

Eight original families, generated with the plugin’s own colour engine. They go after the conversion, so they behave the same with any camera. Move your cursor over the names.

Film finish

What makes digital look like celluloid

The modules at the end of the panel. Each one with its presets and every control.

  • Halation: without the effect
    Halation: with the Color Grade Resolve effect

    Halation

    The reddish glow film creates around bright lights. Threshold, spread, glow colour and a cool diffusion-filter glow.

  • Film grain: without the effect
    Film grain: with the Color Grade Resolve effect

    Film grain

    Eight stocks, from Super 8 to 65 mm. More grain in the mid-tones, like real film, and a size that adapts itself to 4K.

  • Skin tones: without the effect
    Skin tones: with the Color Grade Resolve effect

    Skin tones

    Adjusts saturation, brightness and hue of detected skin only. No masks, no tracking.

  • Colour vignette: without the effect
    Colour vignette: with the Color Grade Resolve effect

    Colour vignette

    Edges that blend into any colour you pick with Resolve’s colour picker: black, white or any tone.

The plugin

Everything in a single node

Drop it on a node on the Color page and you get eleven modules in one panel. It processes in the right order: conversion and exposure in scene light, looks in display space and optical effects last.

Your LUTs too

Load your own .cube files

The Custom LUT section takes any .cube LUT: your camera’s, the ones you bought or the ones you made. And the plugin’s own LUTs come as files too.

  • Your library, safe

    Every LUT you load is copied into your personal library. Move or delete the original and the project still works.

  • Try them in seconds

    Previous and next step through every LUT in the folder without opening the file browser each time.

  • All in .cube for other software

    The 74 creative looks, 13 finishing tones and 30 camera conversions also come as 33-point .cube files, for any node or any program that reads LUTs.

  • In Resolve’s LUT browser

    Tick the option when installing and they appear under LUTs › ResolvePacks Color Grade, ready to drag.

Tutorial

How to use it, step by step

From purchase to your first graded shot in five steps. Leave the project as it comes: DaVinci YRGB and Rec.709 Gamma 2.4, with no other LUT or Color Space Transform before the node.

  1. Instalar Color Grade Resolve.exe
    1

    Install

    Close Resolve and double-click the installer. It asks for admin rights because OFX plugins live in Program Files. It takes under a minute.

  2. Color Grade Resolve in the DaVinci Resolve effects library, inside the ResolvePacks group
    2

    Drop it on a node

    Color page › Effects › ResolvePacks › Color Grade Resolve. Or type “Color Grade” in the panel’s search box.

  3. 3

    Activate your licence

    In the Licencia (Licence) section paste the key shown on your Payhip download page and click “Activar licencia”. It only needs internet that once.

  4. S-Log3 shot before conversion
    The same shot converted to Rec.709
    4

    Pick your camera

    In LUTs › LUT de conversión pick your log profile. If you did not shoot log, leave “Ninguna” (none). Adjust exposure and temperature until the shot looks neutral.

  5. Portrait with the Cinema Warm 2 look
    5

    Pick a look and finish

    Try looks with “LUT siguiente” (next LUT), set the intensity and finish with a finishing tone, skin, grain, halation and vignette.

Tip · To repeat the look across every shot: right-click › Grab Still and apply it to the rest, or copy the node with Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V.

Manual · The pack includes the full manual in English and Spanish. The plugin interface is in Spanish, and the English manual shows every control with its translation.

Licence

One purchase, three computers

Your key can be active on three computers at once: your desktop, your laptop and the studio machine, for example.

The key appears on your Payhip download page, next to the Download button.

  • One-off payment

    No subscription. You pay once and the version you buy is yours.

  • Internet only to activate

    After that it works offline. Every so often, if there is a connection, it quietly checks the key is still valid.

  • Changing computer?

    Click “Desactivar en este equipo” (deactivate on this computer) on the old one and the seat is free for the new one.

  • Commercial use included

    Use it on all your projects, personal and client work. What you make is yours.

Performance

Real time, even in 4K

With an NVIDIA card the whole plugin runs on the GPU, with nothing else to install. With AMD or Intel it runs on the CPU using every core.

  • 3 msper frame in 1080p, all 11 modules on
  • 8 msper frame in 4K, all 11 modules on
  • ±1/255difference between GPU and CPU: the same result

Measured on an NVIDIA RTX 2060. Without NVIDIA, turn on Resolve’s render cache for smooth playback with grain and halation.

Questions

What people ask me most

Does it work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. It is an OpenFX plugin and the free version of Resolve supports them. You do not need Studio.

Does it work on Mac?

Not yet: this version is for Windows 10 and 11 only. If you have a Mac and want to help me test the version I am preparing, email me and it is yours for free in return.

How many computers can I use it on?

Three at the same time with the same key. If you change computer, click “Desactivar en este equipo” on the old one to free the seat. If that machine no longer exists, write to me and I will free it.

Do I need internet to use it?

Only to activate the licence the first time. After that it works offline.

Where is my licence key?

On your Payhip download page, next to the Download button. Until you activate it, the effect leaves the image untouched.

Can I use my own LUTs?

Yes. The Custom LUT section loads any .cube file and copies it into your library, so the project does not break if you move the original. You can combine it with the plugin’s looks.

My camera is not on the list, can I still use it?

If you shoot without log (a standard profile, or a phone without Log), choose “Ninguna” (none) and use the rest of the plugin as normal. If your camera shoots a log that is not listed, load the manufacturer’s official LUT in Custom LUT.

Do I need an NVIDIA card?

No. With NVIDIA it runs on the GPU in real time; with AMD or Intel it runs on the CPU. For smooth playback with grain and halation, turn on Resolve’s render cache.

The image looks too contrasty or the colours are off

It is almost always a double conversion: check there is no other LUT or Color Space Transform before the node, and that the profile you picked matches your camera.

Is the interface in English?

The interface is in Spanish. The English manual shows every control with its Spanish name and the English translation next to it.

Can I use it for commercial work?

Yes, on all your projects, personal or client work. What you cannot do is redistribute the plugin or the LUTs.
