Three/Strip™ Collection — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Three/Strip™ Collection?

A DCTL and PowerGrade collection for DaVinci Resolve built around the classic two-strip and three-strip Technicolor color-separation principles of films from the 1920s–1950s. It delivers the hue rotation, density response and tonal character of classic photochemical color as a single DCTL — a controllable vintage palette that behaves like a professional tool, not a one-click preset.

What's included?

The Three/Strip™ DCTL plus its accompanying PowerGrades. A Crosstalk control lets you bleed the color layers like classic Technicolor 3-strip film, so you can anchor skin tones, protect reds and push saturation to taste — the same color science across your whole timeline.

Also includes an OFX version (beta) with more features and improved performance — runs in both Studio and the free edition of DaVinci Resolve.

Can I try Three/Strip™ before buying?

Yes — two ways. There's an interactive browser demo of the 3-strip color science on the product page, plus a free downloadable Three/Strip™ demo to load into your own footage.

Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio?

The DCTL runs in DaVinci Resolve Studio. Your purchase also includes an OFX version (beta) that adds more features and improved performance over the DCTL. It also runs in both Studio and the free edition of DaVinci Resolve, so Studio isn't strictly required. The OFX build is in active beta.

Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription?

A one-time purchase with free updates — no subscription.

How do I install it?

Installation is handled by the free PixelTools installer app: download it, run the installer, and Three/Strip™ is placed in the correct Resolve folder automatically.
