    I don’t edit with Premiere, but use Adobe Media Encoder. You might be able to do this in Premiere.

    Bit rate and resolution are the parameters that most affect file size. I’d start with a bit rate of 500kbps and lower your resolution to 720P. AME will show you the estimated file size after you enter the parameters.

    H.265 will give you better quality compared to h.264 at the same bit rate. So you can go to a lower bit rate with h.265 and maintain quality, if the copyright office accepts that CODEC.

    Be sure to use 2-pass encoding as that will increase quality compared to 1-pass. Also, use variable bit rate. Hope this helps.

    Checkout 7toX. It may help.

    I recommend Topaz Labs’ Video AI. They have a free trial.

    You need to be in a color space that supports HDR such as Rec 2020 HLG which I believe is the HDR color space the iPhone shoots, not Rec 709 which is standard dynamic range. I’m not a DaVinci expert, but there are excellent online tutorials that can help. Check out Cullen Kelly’s and Darren Mostyn’s tutorials.

    On my system, a plugin called Object Remover is in the Motion Templates folder > Titles > RT Helpers > Object Remover. RT Helpers is from Ripple Training. Object Remover is a fairly generic name, so there may be other developers than Ripple. But I’d search through the Titles and Effects folders in Motion Templates. You might find it there.

    I agree with the previous replies. I suggest you use Shutter Encoder (it’s free & excellent) to edit the front end without re-encoding. It has a simple edit interface built-in.

    The Magic Mask will probably work for this if you have the Studio Version. Here’s a link to a tutorial.

    I seem to recall when I went from one computer to another, I’d forgotten about an even older computer that had some CoreMelt plugins installed. Fortunately, it started and I cleared that install. Did you ask CoreMelt if they can disable the other license on the other computer? I don’t see why they couldn’t do that.

    I agree with Kirk. It’s called CoreMelt Manager. I’ve been using it to install & update CoreMelt plugins with no issues. Maybe it will help.

    Strange. It’s in both the free and Studio versions. Are you on the latest version of Resolve? I don’t remember when it was added. Hopefully, someone else has better info.
