you are amazing! its pretty easy to use and understand even without seeing the video. but its such an amazing tool i came back to watch anyway because you are a trove of great resources and knowledge. 5 stars if i could give you
Cool vid!! I might have to try this out. I've been a curves fan over color warper and slicer but i think i need to check DCTLs finally. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you like the DCTL, I’ve got a few more planned to share soon, well, I’m taking a month off but towards the end of March I will starting to release more regularly!
Just found your channel and it's great. You should tak more about color science I think it's a subject that is difficult to find information about in general
Can you please do a theory course on the thought process behind the RGB Mixer for look development, it is somewhat similar to this but I found some people using 2 RGB Mixer node one for creating the look and other to fix the color tones to further finish the look. They do it but never explain.
Yes I have loads of ideas for videos but unfortunately I’m not a “TH-camr” so work gets in the way most of the time and now I’m in the process of relocating countries so I will return to TH-cam at the end of March and of course I will note this down for a future video. I for one don’t use 3x3 matrices that often to be honest but I could do an in-depth video of how and what tools I use for look development when needed.
Thank for that! What do you mean it doesn’t work? You need to put this DCTL inside the LUTs folder of Davinci Resolve and you will find it in your OFX. Same thing for the LUTs like the contrast LUT, they go inside the LUT folder within Davinci resolve and you can apply them as LUTs, and the drx files go into your stills or power grades albums. Everything works, have just tested it. Let me know exactly what doesn’t work for you and I’ll help you. Thanks!
It should work just fine, I’m on Mac but it shouldn’t make any difference: Installation: Find Your LUT folder by opening File>Project Settings. Select Color Management, then under Lookup Tables, click Open LUT Folder. Put Tetra.dctl in there . Restart Resolve. Usage: Apply DCTL OFX from ResolveFX Color category to desired node. Select the Tetra.dctl file from DCTL List
Hi Michael, thanks for your comment! I think I have to disagree with you on this one as the Color Warper inside Davinci Resolve does not work in a Tetrahedral way. Tetra stays rectilinear as you increase or decrease values, without affecting the greyscale distribution. Tools like HSV curves tend to expand outward and bend. It will be way harder for you to break an image with Tetra whereas with the Color Warper tool you can very very easily destroy an image.
Your comment is very uninformed. As the uploader said, tetrahedral interpolation works very differently from the color warper. Color warper is a blunt axe trying to be a precise scalpel. I would strongly advise against using it altogether, especially in a look design phase where it can become very dangerous. I would suggest diving deeper into color science, starting with Steve Yedlin's display prep demo on his website.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I've had the DCTL for a while but didn't understand how to use it. Now I do.
You are very welcomed!
Same bro so happy he explained it

Thanks so much for your comment mate!
Thank you what a wonderful tool will be watching more of your material .
You are very welcome!
Hope you enjoy all the tools💪🏻
Great description on how to use the TETRA DCTL and to think like a painter.
Thank you, appreciate your comment.
I used to use Tetra, fell out of love with it but now you just made me want to pick it up again! 🔥
I say yay! Give it another try.
Thank you!

Thanks for watching Jeff
Very helpful! A solution of the best type: the TOOLS one needs.
Thanks for your comment, I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much 😍😍
Can you please share Stefan presentation link?
You’ll find Steve’s prep demo link in the description of this video.
Thank you so much, great dcil AND great tutorial :)
I’m glad you like the DCTL, I’ve got a few more planned to share soon, well, I’m taking a month off but towards the end of March I will starting to release more regularly!
very interesting. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you - more DCTL for free more fun,
More to come!

Thanks so much for your comments. I will try to add more bits of color science here and there for my next videos!
Thanks for the theory 🙂
Glad you don’t find it boring 🤪

Relocate to our place man, will wait for it, thanks for your time and efforts ☺️
great video! Love it :)
Thank you!!
as a courtesy I paid few money to download few dctl's & .drx files but ,.. curves & .drx files don't work,... what now ?????
Thank for that!

@@DavinciResolveTipsTricks thank you so much for replying,, I did exactly that, but will do again Tetra worked fine.
Does it work on Windows? I've installed it but it's inactive, or am I doing something wrong??
It should work just fine, I’m on Mac but it shouldn’t make any difference:
Installation:
Find Your LUT folder by opening File>Project Settings. Select Color Management, then under Lookup Tables, click Open LUT Folder.

Select the Tetra.dctl file from DCTL List
All these instruments became obsolete since color warper came to the party.
