Time to share one of my favorite DCTLs which just got a huge update — it'll help you get better looks and better grades instantly, ESPECIALLY if you're still using CSTs instead.

FAQ:

Q: Do I still need to use a CST at the start of my color management?
A: Yes! OpenDRT only replaces the CST you use at the end of your pipeline.

Q: What’s color management?
A: Welcome to the channel! There’s a ton of color management content here but start with this: https://youtube.com/live/JpRuQQ__-YA?feature=share

Q: Can I use OpenDRT on any version of Resolve?
A: No, you need Resolve Studio to use OpenDRT or any other DCTL.
