How to adjust colour shifts AND Exposure shifts in rec709 footage

Fixing exposure and colour shifts in Rec.709 footage — a step-by-step DaVinci Resolve tutorial. You finish a shoot, sit down to grade, and the exposure's drifted mid-shot and the colour's shifted on you — one of the more frustrating things to find in Rec.709, because the latitude just isn't there like it is in log or RAW. I walk through the exact steps to pull it back: correcting the shifts, keyframing the drift out across the clip, then finishing with a warm sunset look — all on native tools.
