The plugin's "story" evolved as users began applying it to —creating the entire visual style for movies and shows rather than just fixing shots. This popularity led to the creation of Hue/Shift Pro , which expanded the original single tool into a suite of six specialized DCTLs (DaVinci Color Transform Language) for advanced grading.
