Mononodes – Utility DCTLs 2 is a comprehensive pack of custom DCTL (DaVinci Color Transform Language) tools built for DaVinci Resolve Studio, offering professional-grade functionality for image analysis, color correction, and grading workflows. Tailored for colorists, editors, and cinematographers, this toolset enhances precision, workflow speed, and grading confidence.
Key Features:1. Balance DCTL
The Balance DCTL enables detailed skin tone analysis by categorizing deviations as yellow, magenta, or green based on their alignment with the skin tone line. The included Neutrals to Green function highlights neutral areas by converting them to green for better balance control. An Exposure Heatmap visually represents exposure distribution across the frame, aiding lighting correction and consistency.
2. Clipping DCTL
The Clipping DCTL detects blown-out highlights and crushed shadows using white and black threshold sliders. It features a Monochrome Clipping View that turns the image grayscale and highlights clipped areas in bright red—making problem areas instantly recognizable. The Darken toggle dims the image except for clipped areas, enhancing visibility in scopes and Lightbox view.
3. Isolator Tools
The Color Isolator removes luminance bias by transforming all tones to a neutral gray, allowing you to focus purely on hue and saturation—ideal for accurate grading decisions.
Show High: Isolates and displays only bright colors, turning non-highlighted areas gray.
Show Low: Focuses on shadow tones, graying out all non-dark areas.
These tools allow in-depth examination of specific tonal regions without interference from unrelated hues or brightness levels.
4. Skin Tone Indicator
This intelligent DCTL feature eliminates the need for scopes or masks when analyzing skin tones. It automatically identifies regions aligning with the skin tone line and allows you to adjust tolerance using a slider—providing instant, visual feedback and streamlining the color grading process.
