In this video I break down my full color grading workflow inside DaVinci Resolve and show you the exact node tree I use on every project. You can download the full workflow, DCTL list and my Dehancer cheat sheet for free using the link below.

I start with the basic corrections using a clean signal from log into DaVinci Wide Gamut. I show why I use a parallel mixer for exposure white balance and contrast and what actually happens when you compare serial versus parallel. I also show a simple secret sauce trick I found today when testing both structures that gives a really crisp punchy look.

From there I walk through saturation control with the IC Saturator DCTL and how to fix any DCTL error messages when you load the node tree. You will see how the saturation curve bends the mid tones without blowing out shadows or highlights and how to judge everything using the vectorscope.

Then I move into HSL look development. I show you how small hue and luminance adjustments can reshape your reds greens and yellows without destroying the natural color in the shot. This is where the fun starts because this is where the real look development happens.

After that I add split tuning for a simple controlled split tone and then convert DaVinci Wide Gamut into Rec 709 before applying a film look inside a compound node. I explain why I open the signal into Cineon film log before using the built in Kodak 233 D60 LUT and how to control the intensity using gain.

I finish with a full walkthrough of Dehancer. I show you how to set the correct input source, how to pick your camera and color space and how to keep the film look subtle. I also give you a full Dehancer cheat sheet that explains every control including input, exposure, tint, defringe, film type, push pull and print stock. If you do not own Dehancer you can still load the node tree and experiment. The watermark will show but you will still learn the workflow.

The main goal of this video is to help you understand basic corrections, scopes and look development so you can experiment more and build a look that is natural and unique to your footage. Once you understand the foundations you get full creative freedom.
