Fantastic tutorial! I gave a shot at downloading the file, but when i the DCTL effect onto a node in the Color page, The DCTL List Dropdown menu only says "None", so i have nothing to choose from. I assume i placed the file in the wrong folder? But i see so many options when you click it! Does resolve come with no DCTLs and you added all of those yourself?
Different color spaces react in different ways. Some people prefer adding sat in HSV because it has a preferential way of treating the luminance of high saturations that many artists like
The big question I have about the HSV workflow: How do I apply this to individual colors? How do I not saturate a color (let's say yellow, or red) using this method? I've played around with this a lot and I've hit a wall. I'm probably missing something very obvious! Right now I achieve this goal by saturating a color and lower it luminance but I'd love to know how I'd do it with the HSV thing. :)
Great question! One option is in a first node you could qualify the colors you want to effect within the "Qualifier" tab, then pump the "key output" of your qualifier to the "key input" of the node you are doing the HSV adjustment in The "key output" is the small blue square on the bottom right of a node. The "key input" is the small blue triangle on the bottom left of a node There are probably a bunch of ways to make it happen, this is the first that comes to mind
@@BarrettKaufman Yeah this is how I usually do it. But I'm thinking about a way to seperate the RGB (or CMY) channels. Just qualifying wouldn't result a perfekt output I guess? I'd love to take care of saturation of a particular color channel.
@@ja-kidnb6416 I tried the HSV with the color channel splitter in the Color menu but it didn't work as those were the Luma channels for the Red, Blue and Green channels. slightly below in the same Color menu are color Presets in the Presets submenu where colors have been pre-keyed or qualified. Those are more exact, not perfect, but better than doing it manually. I have found using the HSV on any of these preset nodes works quite well. You can adjust the Luminance slider to affect more specifically a tonal region (shadows, gamma or highlights). That's the best I've found so far.
@@kmal16 I tried what you described and it works pretty well, especially since you can still fineadjust the HSL.You can work with these as layer nodes and put everything into a compound node when you're done. There is a lot I have to test with this!
@@ja-kidnb6416 Awesome, it may not be perfect, but at least it will get you further along in your grade. Let me know how it goes when you use it. I would be interested in your results. Thanks.
Paul is currently releasing his DCTLs for free which is great news! On the resource page there are two options for downloading the plugin, feel free to use whatever works best for you
The top link on the resource page for the plugin, says "click here for film density dctl download" That will download the full DCTL file. If you prefer using GitHub, you can use the other links on that page
I just tested it and it's working properly. Alternatively, you can right click the "Click here" link and choose "Save link as" to download the zip file with the DCTL. If that doesn't work for you, feel free to use the other links on the page to get the code from GitHub. If you aren't familiar with GitHub there are plenty of tutorials on youtube about how to use it. GitHub can be confusing at first if you're new, but it's a great platform once you get a feel for it.
Nice explanation man! Another method is to switch node to hsv, then go to rgb mixer, untick "preserve luminance" and just bump green in green channel.
Love it! Whatever is more simple for your workflow is always a good call
Really useful and concise 😊 thanks ☺️
Not exactly a fan of hiding things behind a email subscription wall. That's tactics that scammers use. Or at least spammers.
look forward to all your videos, learn something new everytime
Thanks Craig!
Love your chanel! Keep it up!
Thanks!

Thanks! Check out my short in the description. Also you need the Studio version of Resolve to use DCTL I believe
Very good sr.
Why in some method you lower gain in hsl chanel, then increase gain in hsv chanel?
Does saturation in hsl chanel affect luminosity?

I used the color density in the free version and it appears as a compressed file. Is it not useable in the free version?

I could kiss you. This film density plugin is exactly what I have been looking for. You are a saint for offering it for free! Liked and subscribed!
I'm glad the video was helpful!
