The final video is only 7 minutes long but has a file size of over 4GB! Is there a way I can reduce this whilst maintaining quality so that the video is suitable for sharing on google drive?
You could render an intermediate file from Resolve (ProRes , Cineform, DNxHx etc) and re-encode it using H.265 technology which compresses better than H.264 technology while keeping the same quality.
The required level of quality often depends on whether the video is going to be shared for editing or if it is for viewing only.
By the way, 4GB for a 7-minute 2.7K video is rather large if it is destined for viewing only, you might want to experiment with a lower bitrate.
