Colorboy

  • I'm new to Resolve, is Colorboy for me?

    DaVinci Resolve has a suite of world class tools, but as a beginner it can be daunting to get up and running. 

    Colorboy was made with workflow in mind to make editing easier from start to finish without sacrificing the quality. It’s designed for easy use and all you have to do is choose your footage type, pick a look and use the sliders to fine tune it.

  • Will it work on my machine?

    If you are using a Mac with an M-series or A-series chip, then yes. Windows / NVIDIA CUDA support is not available yet, but it is in development.

  • Do I need the Studio version of DaVinci Resolve?

    No, you do not need the Studio version of Resolve. Colorboy has its own built-in grain and halation pipelines that do not require any Studio effects. It is tested on the free version of Resolve and even a base model MacBook Air.

  • What's different than using LUTs?

    While LUTs are fully baked in transformations, Colorboy is a complete editing pipeline inside one plugin.

    You can choose your camera type, apply tone and creative look transforms and then fine-tune the look to your preferences.

    You get the speed of LUT workflow without being locked into a baked look.

  • How does Colorboy match cameras?

    Colorboy uses the OCIO SDK to convert your footage into an intermediate colorspace (ACEScct). This is accelerating using Metal Shaders and allows your footage to share a common denominator before the final output.

    In future versions colorboy will allow for different intermediate spaces / conversions but for now simple is better.

  • What happens when a new version/update drops?

    If you have suggestions or feedback feel free to reach out - contact@precomp.co

    Future updates are included with your licence, so you can keep using the latest version at no extra cost.

    I use this plugin myself and will continue to improve and add features that you will also receive when you buy.

  • How do I install Colorboy?

    Sticking to the theme of easy to use, Colorboy comes as a ready to use installer. Once you get your download link all you have to do is double click to kick off the installer and it does the rest for you.

    Colorboy will appear in your Color tab right away - just search and favorite it so it stays at the top.

  • Can I install it on multiple devices?

    The included perpetual licence includes use on 2 devices simultaneously.
