Eliminate the need to jump between tools and nodes
Prime/Grade is an all-in-one primaries tool designed for accurate and efficient color correction, with advanced options for customizing its core processing.

Prime/Grade™ seamlessly integrate with Resolve Color Management (DaVinci Intermediate) and ACES workflows, ensuring accurate and consistent color management throughout your entire post-production pipeline.

Prime/Grade™ integrates seamlessly with Blackmagic Mini and Advanced Control Surfaces, enabling quick adjustments without disrupting your current grading workflow or established muscle memory.
I've spent so much time learning proper workflows for grading. Linear gain exposure vs. offset, linear balancing, contrast adjustments, etc. Prime/Grade takes all of that and puts it into a single easy to use DCTL. This tool literally combines 3 nodes in my workflow and makes it incredibly easy to work fast without worrying about what is happening under the hood of your nodes. I love the fact that it's compatible with my mini panel, but the sliders give you easy access to adjustments when working on the go. This is a must have tool!
It is all-in-one tool; there is no need anymore to use various other tools to achieve what you can achieve with only one. It is very intuitive and user friendly!
I used Prime/Grade for the first time to grade a 3 episode documentary. I don't know exactly the amount of time that I saved (a lot) but to me the greatest thing is that it's not just a matter of productivity, my work quality has improved a lot. The WB and Skin checkers are really handy and the flare and fill controls are amazing as well. The only downside is that I don't know if I'll be using the panel wheels again!
The DCTL takes a lot of work out of using different functions within Resolve that are a pain to handle (HSV sat, linear gain, etc.). It’s packed with useful features, and I’m glad I purchased it.
