Ranked 59 on aescripts, ColorTwist earns its place by bundling four focused Look Development DCTLs — hue shifting, saturation, luminance and density — into a single set for DaVinci Resolve colorists.
ColorTwist is a bundle of Look Development DCTLs from Nx Color, built for grading inside DaVinci Resolve. It packages four separate DCTLs, each aimed at a different aspect of color control.
Nx ColorWarp shifts hues to other hues with precision. Nx Saturation controls the saturation of any hue or color. Nx Luma controls the luminance or brightness of a specific hue or color. Nx Density adds density to any or all colors for a filmic, cinematic look. Together they cover hue, saturation, brightness and density adjustments within one set.
Version 2.0 integrated DCTLs Common for macOS, Windows and Linux, and is described by the developer as faster and more precise than the initial 1.0 release. ColorTwist is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
ColorTwist for Davinci Resolve (DCTL) is best for colorists and editors doing look development in DaVinci Resolve who want precise control over hue, saturation, luminance and color density.
ColorTwist for Davinci Resolve (DCTL) is completely free to download and use.
ColorTwist is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 20, along with versions 19, 18, 17 and 16, so it covers both current and older releases of the software. The package is a set of Look Development DCTLs that load into Resolve's DCTL workflow. If you're running one of these supported versions, all four included DCTLs — Nx ColorWarp, Nx Saturation, Nx Luma and Nx Density — apply. For anything outside this version range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
ColorTwist's version 2.0 integrated DCTLs Common for macOS, Windows and Linux, so the bundle is set up to run across all three operating systems. This update, released on November 25, 2024, is also described by the developer as faster and more precise than the original 1.0 release from November 2023. If you're on any of these platforms and running a supported DaVinci Resolve version, the DCTLs load into your color workflow.
