So there are many methods of applying a LUT, en masse, to footage in Resolve. And there's no way to tell (at least AFAIK) in the Color page if a clip has an Input LUT applied to it. Most colorists would NOT want any LUTs to be applied automatically-especially at the Media Pool level-because not only do a lot of colorists prefer to start a grade from scratch, but also because Source clip level LUTs are super confusing as there's no obvious way to know that a clip has an Input LUT applied to them without having that metadata column exposed in the Media Pool.
Resolve just doesn't do any of this automatically upon import, and I wouldn't want it to. You can load the LUT used by the DP on set, either by selecting all the clips in the Media Pool, right-clicking and selecting the appropriate LUT from the "3D LUT" menu, OR if the footage was shot on an Alexa, you can right-click on the clips in the Color thumbnail timeline, and select "Apply Arri CDL & LUT", which would probably be an even more accurate representation of the DP's intent, assuming a custom LUT was used on set. It is a good way to see the intent of the DP. There should be an option to automatically load the LUT. This is usually done when the footage is shot in log format with an accompanying LUT.
