Hi I'm using beta 17.

I recorded my footage at a day time so the sun was moving all over the place which made me play around with the exposure quite a bit every 5 minutes or so.
Although I did that, I still have scenes where the lighting just pops like this.
One scene has dim lighting, the other one's exposure is where I want to get to in almost every scene.

It's nothing crazy. But I want to have a smoother footage where stuff like this doesn't happen.
(Every shot is just a cut of me talking about sth so the camera almost never moves) Is there an easy way to fix this? I'm an amateur so I never messed around with the color sides of things.

Thank you. Have a good day...

No.

There's a PITA way, though. You can keyframe various parameters as the needs change aver time.

As a new user, your first course of action should be to complete some Resolve training. The Beginner's Guide and Advanced Editing are an excellent groundwork to get you moving smoothly.

After those are done, the Color manual is the one you'll want to do next.

Yes there is. In Fusion, probe modifier should be able to sample your image, what you want to do is choose a reference frame and reference area (those white walls are pretty ideal). Probe the pixel values there and run a multiply operation over your image so that you multiply RGB channels with value from reference frame / current frame division.

Another option is to blur the image a lot, do a freeze frame on reference frame, divide blurred freezeframed ref frame with blurred current frame and multiply original with result of this.

Eeesh, I guess we have different definitions for "easy".

I guess so, to me automated way that does something fast is easy, for others, doing hours of manual labour is. Go figure... My suggestion is to ask stuff like this in compers forums, comp 101 seems to be ultra advanced level in grading. Focus is on different aspects I guess.
