Before you start, you need to add Dehancer to the project. Then you will be able to perform the remaining steps of installation, downloading profiles and License Activation.

Dehancer is applied as a standard Layer to the clips or to the whole timeline via Grade → Layer. Normally Dehancer should be placed on top of the processing chain, just to make all basic corrections before film emulation. Occasionally some specific FX may be placed after the plugin (for example, delivery sharpen, mastering curves, etc.)

Please refer to the for more information about the workflow and Dehancer tools.
