The built-in tools in grading applications like DaVinci Resolve are immensely powerful, but sometimes, you need a tool that goes further—or, at the very least, approaches a task in a slightly different way. 

In this installment of The OffSet Podcast, we're exploring how power grades, DCTLs, and OFX fit into a grading workflow.

Specific topics we discuss in this episode include:

• Defining Powergrades, DCTL & OFX
• The benefits of extending the toolset without cluttering the user interface
• Integrating DCTLS and OFX into fix node tree structures
• The DCTL ecosystem as R&D for Blackmagic Design
• Keeping DCTLs & OFX in sync, up to date, and on multiple systems and locations
• Exploring how to NOT paint yourself into a corner with DCTLs & OFX
• How DCTLS and OFX require a lot of steps and clicks for use
• There could be better interface & panel integration
• Some of our favorite DCTLs and OFX
