Hey,

do you shoot in Normal or in Cinelike Profile and why do you shoot in that profile?
I've tried Cinelike D but the colours look really weird and need a lot of editing ... so what's the point of that profile and how do you edit it properly?

In simplistic terms d-cine is a flat profile to allow more post colour grading this takes longer than using out of camera hdr etc. Purists/pros will typically shoot in d-cine but its a personal choice and depends on your own use case.  It's a bit like comparing a camera raw and jpeg file if you know anything about photography.

If your video editing software supports LUTs (Look Up Tables), you can use the LUT I created for the Mavic Air 2 D-Cinelike profile -- please see the thread here. The LUT will apply natural colors to D-Cinelike video, enhance contrast, and extract detail.

Cine-like is a lite version of a  professional D-Log color profile, the latitude of the exposure has been flattened to allow greater control when grading the image
Flat color profiles such as this is really for advanced users. Normal will give you good images for everything else.
Do some research regarding Color Grading/Timing and see if its something you want to explore other wise stick happily; to Normal

D-Cinelike makes the image look like a cinema with a Lookup Table (LUT) that contains a mathematical formula for modifying an image. If you do not want to adjust the color by yourselves. D-Cinelike mode would be a good choice.
Normal mode is suitable for basic situations where coloring is not required. The color in this mode is standard and there are no stylization tendency.

Cinelike-D prioritizes dynamic range for more control during post-production. Both Cinelink-D and D-log are used to grey out an image, but images in Cinelike-D style are more natural than those in D-log style.
