About This Tool
The Video Bitrate & Storage Calculator is an essential post-production utility for video editors, DITs (Digital Intermediate Technicians), broadcast engineers, content creators, and streaming managers.
Planning storage allocation for video projects requires balancing image resolution, frame rate, compression codec efficiency, and multi-channel audio. This tool lets you compute total file size in Gigabytes (GB) or Megabytes (MB), calculate required bitrates for target cloud storage limits, estimate upload transfer times across network connections, compare storage savings across H.264, HEVC/H.265, AV1, and Apple ProRes codecs, and generate FFmpeg encoding commands.
How to Use
- Select Resolution Target Preset: Pick a preset like 1080p 30fps, 4K 60fps, or 8K Ultra to populate target bitrates.
- Choose Calculation Mode: Select whether to calculate File Size (GB), Required Bitrate (Mbps), or Maximum Runtime (Duration).
- Adjust Bitrate & Duration Parameters: Fine-tune video bitrate (Mbps), audio bitrate (kbps), track count, and video runtime (Hours, Minutes, Seconds).
- Inspect Network Transfer & Codec Matrix: Review estimated upload times over 50 Mbps, 250 Mbps fiber, or 1 Gbps connections, and compare storage across H.264, HEVC, and AV1.
- Copy Audit Report & FFmpeg Scripts: Copy the comprehensive bitrate audit report or copy ready FFmpeg target bitrate CLI commands.
