Stop guessing. Nail it every time.

NAILER is a precision indicator plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio that helps you see and evaluate color more clearly.

It uses intelligent color overlays and real-time visual indicators to translate complex color data into clear, actionable feedback—so you can make faster, more confident decisions while grading.

Instead of constantly jumping between scopes, NAILER lets you evaluate exposure, contrast, skin tones, saturation, balance, and neutrals directly on the image. It’s designed to support your workflow, not replace it—giving you visual confidence that what you’re seeing is accurate and under control.
