Alienskin has some Video Tutorials like Color Film Presets and Video Workflow
If you want to give it a try make sure to do contrast and color balance before the plugin effects.

There is some devolution free plugins from Photoshop that you could use for inspiration and try to emulate in the Almighty Resolve.

“Why would it? Resolve is not PS/AE. It works differently and requires a different approach.”:
-That doesn’t make the Resolve better for color correction work, what make the Resolve better in the eyes of many people is the reputation the resolve has gain during the Telecine Era and Tape Era. Please see my post above.

“Resolve runs circles around PS/AE on render time and workflow.”:
-Really?? I have no problem with speed and workflow.

“Resolve has real conform tools “:
-AE too.

“and a dedicated color grading toolset,”:
-Can you be more specific, I have showed you the tools that are not in the resolve in my post above post.

“including critical features like a still store”:
-I agree with you, AE has only one grab, please see my post above.

“and scopes.”:
-The AE Synthetic Test Gear scopes has more scopes and better, for example the Vectorscope scale can go from x1 to x10 and Resolve doesn’t have for example the gamut display to monitor out of gamut colors.

” It’s tough to control with just a keyboard and a mouse,”:
-Not if you know how, but I understand you’re having problem with the concept.

“but it works very nicely with a control surface.”:
-Yes it works with a panel but still they is a lot of tools missing that could enhance your color corrections.

“It renders in real time on the GPU.”:
-It depend on the CPU, the resolution, the files and on how many nodes, windows, trackers you’re using, then good luck playing realtime if it is over loaded, there is no cache.

The things I like about the resolve:

Intuitive secondaries but the PS AE are very good too
intuitive Power windows but the PS AE are very good too

PS: Both softwares need a better Noise Reducer a la “Digital Vision”

To often my clients fell in love with the flat pass and fought the much needed color correction, that is why I get the looks approved before anything else.

I played with resolve light and found it to be very limited. I think Blackmagic had a great reputation for controlling a pricey telecine with no real competition. Now that they are in a bigger game they need to improve a lot.

AE/PS is the best.

I like their shots detector script.
But for grading, AE in combination with PS is the best color correction software on the planet and no other software come even close. There is so many tools and they are very intuitive too.
I rarely use a 3-way CC but for those who do, try Magic Bullet Colorista Free for AE
