Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL – Filmic Tone Curve is a look development tool that allows you to bring a filmic contrast curve into your image. It mimics the characteristics of analog film with a linear section around middle exposure and soft highlight (shoulder), and shadow (toe) roll-off.
This DCTL is transfer curve aware, that is, it behaves consistently across different input transfer curves. It is intended for use in a scene space and can be used to bake log-to-log LUTs. Please be aware that it requires the Studio version of Resolve.

🎞️ Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL — True Filmic Contrast for Resolve Studio
Color grading is more than just dialing in saturation and shadows—it’s about sculpting light to match the emotion and intent of your story. And nothing captures that timeless cinematic feel quite like the nuanced contrast of analog film.
Introducing the Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL—a precision tool for look development that brings a true filmic response curve into your DaVinci Resolve workflow.

🎬 Why Use a Filmic Tone Curve?
Unlike standard contrast curves, this DCTL is built to mimic the non-linear behavior of real film stock. That means:
🟢 Linear midtones for natural exposure rendering
🔵 Soft highlight roll-off (shoulder) that avoids harsh clipping
⚫ Gentle shadow fade (toe) for subtle, cinematic depth
This approach adds richness and realism—perfect for narrative work, branded content, or anyone looking to elevate their visuals beyond the digital default.
⚙️ Transfer Curve Aware & Scene-Referred
One of the standout features of Filmic Tone Curve V2 is its transfer curve awareness. It adapts intelligently to different input curves, maintaining consistent behavior whether you’re working in LogC, S-Log3, V-Log, or another log format.
Designed for scene-referred workflows, it’s ideal for:
Log-to-log LUT creation
Look development in a non-display-referred context
Maintaining control and consistency across camera types

Visual Aesthetic & Color Science
Capturing the timeless texture of legendary 35mm motion picture stocks, Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL infuses modern digital video with organic analog warmth, authentic halation balance, and rich subtractive color density. Unlike harsh digital grades that push saturation uniformly, this look deepens color density as luminance decreases, resulting in velvety blacks, soft pastel highlights, and radiant, lifelike skin tones reminiscent of classic Kodak Vision3 and 5219 film stocks.
Camera & Profile Compatibility
Camera & Profile Compatibility: Universal compatibility across all major cinema and mirrorless camera systems, including ARRI LogC, Blackmagic Film Gen 5, RED IPP2, Sony S-Log3, Canon C-Log2/C-Log3, Panasonic V-Log, Apple Log, and standard Rec.709 footage.
Step-by-Step Color Grading Workflow & Before/After Technique
Before & After Grading Workflow: Start by balancing your clip’s color temperature and contrast balance. Apply Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL on your creative grading node or layer. If desired, pair with subtle 35mm film grain (around 15-20% opacity) and slight edge halation to complete the vintage cinema aesthetic. The LUT’s internal tone curve handles highlight rolloff automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL emulate real motion picture film stocks?
Yes. Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL is modeled after authentic 35mm motion picture print characteristics, replicating the natural contrast curve, warm shadow density, and highlight compression of classic cinema films.
Q: How do I install and apply Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL in my video editing software?
In Adobe Premiere Pro, open Lumetri Color → Creative tab → Look → Browse and select the .cube file. In DaVinci Resolve, place the .cube file into your Project Settings LUT folder and apply it to any node in the Color Page. In Final Cut Pro X, add the Custom LUT effect to your clip.
Q: Does Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL work with both 8-bit and 10-bit color footage?
Yes. While 10-bit footage (from cameras like Sony FX3, DJI Mavic 3, or iPhone 16 Pro) provides maximum grading elasticity, Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL is mathematically tuned with smooth tonal interpolation to prevent color banding even when applied to standard 8-bit video clips.
Q: Can I adjust the intensity of Filmic Tone Curve V2 DCTL to match my project style?
Yes. Every professional editing application includes an opacity or intensity slider (such as the Look Intensity slider in Premiere Lumetri or Key Output gain in DaVinci Resolve). We recommend starting at 100% and adjusting to between 70% and 90% for the most organic blend.
