Does anyone know of any online courses on how to shoot with such a flat profile and grade them in within Resolve? I'm having issues with really low contrast distant landscape shots right now.
Have you tried using LUT's like Captain Hooks as a starting point for your grade ?

You can also create your own LUT in resolve so once you create a "look " that you like (which might take you some time to settle on and do) you can then more easily apply it to other clips....
You shouldn't underestimate how difficult and skilled the job of a colourist is. You're now getting to use tools that used to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (Resolve) and had highly specialised operators with YEARS of daily experience doing this.
Even today, I'd still MUCH rather a colourist correct my work than to do it myself, even though I technically know how to do it.
Be prepared to learn a new skill. It's like learning to speak a new language. It can take years to be fluent. Don't expect the software to be able to do it all for you.
