Why are you converting the video if you want it the same size?

sorry but I am not an expert in this program, I would like to ask you 2 questions:
- How to always obtain the same size when converting each file?
- How to reduce the color intensity of converted files?
Always use the same bitrate for the same file length.

Use the grayscale filter.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't want each video at its original size, but I want each video to be around 4.5GB

Google for a video bitrate calculator.

Is each video the same length?

no, each file is different size, up to ~25 GB...
