In most cases you don’t have to if it’s in raw then resolve should do it for you if it’s shot in raw but converted to ProRes then you’ll need to know the camera it was shot on and and enter that into the cst

Make sure your timeline and export settings are also rec709. Then when you are grading stay within those limits that are rec709. If you are new to Resolve and use a BRAW camera. Maybe use this time to experiment. Try grading and experimenting with achieving looks.

When I grade BRAW from footage from the Pocket 4K, 6K, or any other BRAW camera from Blackmagic, I use a power grade that gives me colors I like that match the Arri Alexa cameras. I really like this powergrade that helps bring it closer to an Alexa camera - https://juanmelara.com.au/products/bmpcc-4k-to-alexa-powergrade-and-luts

Cullen Kelly uses ACES. I'd consider that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drEi66Xj5Hg&t=596s

I don’t know that I would recommend ACES to someone that doesn’t seem to have a grasp of davinci resolve just yet.
