OpenDisplayTransform-OFX for DaVinci Resolve

OpenFX ports of selected Resolve DCTL look tools from open-display-transform for DaVinci Resolve.

This repository provides GPU-accelerated OFX plugins adapted from selected ODT DCTLs. The plugins are distributed through MCNexus, which handles license activation, downloads, updates, and platform-specific installation.

ODT N6 Color

ODT N6 Color is a single OFX plugin that groups the following Resolve DCTL tools into one Resolve effect:

• n6Purity.dctl
• n6ChromaValue.dctl
• n6Vibrance.dctl
• n6HueShift.dctl
• n6CrossTalk.dctl

The port keeps the modules separate in the UI, but processes them as parallel branches from the same clean RGB input. Each module reads the original source RGB, computes its own result, and contributes through its own Mix control. The final result is blended against the clean input with the global Output Mix.

This keeps the OFX predictable for grading: changing one module does not feed unexpectedly into the next module as a serial stack.

Controls

The OFX appears under the Open Display Transform group in Resolve.

Platform Support

Current builds are planned for:

• macOS
• Windows x64

Supported processing backends:

• Metal on macOS
• CUDA on Windows for NVIDIA GPU acceleration
• CPU fallback/reference path

Installation

The plugins are distributed through MCNexus. Each plugin will have its own OpenKey license entry, even when multiple plugins are published from this repository.

Activation flow:

1. Claim the matching OpenKey license for the plugin.
2. Open MCNexus.
3. Activate the plugin with that key.
4. Install or update the plugin from MCNexus.

Lost your key? Open the same claim link again with the same GitHub account to recover the same license.

Support the Project

The OpenDisplayTransform-OFX plugins and source remain available under GPLv3. An optional Supporter purchase pays only for independent support and related operational communications; it does not purchase the software, restrict redistribution, or unlock exclusive plugin features.

One active purchase covers for 12 months every plugin identified as supported in this repository and includes:

• priority private email support; and
• operational email notices about supported builds, releases, compatibility, maintenance, security, and material service changes.

Because this is a support_only offer, obtain at least one free OpenDisplayTransform-OFX technical key before checkout. Separate keys used for installation and updates do not require separate support purchases.

Become a Supporter of the OpenDisplayTransform-OFX Builds

Before purchasing, read the product terms, support policy, privacy notice, and cancellation and refund policy. Repository summaries are available under legal/. Support is provided independently by Magno Ciqueira and is not official support from upstream author Jed Smith.

Binary Releases

Binary OFX releases are distributed through MCNexus and GitHub Releases.

Each binary release must include or link to the corresponding source code for that exact release. Release bundles include GPLv3, upstream attribution, binary distribution notes, and the OpenFX BSD 3-Clause support license under Contents/Resources/Legal.

See BINARY_DISTRIBUTION.md.

OpenFX SDK

Builds use OpenFX SDK 1.5.1 at:

• src/third_party/openfx

That folder is intentionally not committed to this repository. GitHub Actions checks out AcademySoftwareFoundation/openfx at OFX_Release_1.5.1 before building, and local builds should place the same SDK version in that path.
