What is Video Size?
Video Size refers to the total amount of Digital Storage consumed by a video file. It is the product of a video's duration and its Bitrate—the amount of data processed per second—which is influenced by resolution, frame rate, and compression.
- ✓ Data Density: Measured in Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB).
- ✓ Resolution Impact: 4K files contain 4x the pixels of 1080p, increasing size.
- ✓ Codec Efficiency: Modern formats like HEVC (H.265) reduce size without losing quality.
- ✓ Transfer Speed: Larger sizes require higher bandwidth for smooth streaming.
What are Bitrate Presets?
Bitrate Presets are pre-configured data thresholds that determine the Visual Integrity of a video. Choosing the right preset ensures your file is optimized for specific platforms, balancing the "heaviness" of the data against the clarity of the image.
- ✓ Low (Social): 2-5 Mbps. Optimized for mobile data and fast loading on TikTok/IG.
- ✓ Medium (HD): 5-10 Mbps. The standard for YouTube 720p/1080p web playback.
- ✓ High (Premium): 15-35 Mbps. Cinematic quality for 4K and streaming services.
- ✓ Custom: Manual input for precision encoding and professional mastering.
What is a Video Codec?
A Codec (Coder-Decoder) is the algorithm that Compresses raw video for storage and Decompresses it for playback. It is the most critical factor in determining the balance between file weight and visual sharpness.
- ✓ H.264 (AVC): The global standard. Highly compatible and great for web streaming.
- ✓ H.265 (HEVC): Next-gen efficiency. Delivers same quality as H.264 at 50% smaller size.
- ✓ AV1: The future of open-source coding. Ultra-efficient for 4K/8K content.
- ✓ ProRes 422: Professional-grade. Massive file sizes meant for high-end editing.
What is FPS?
FPS (Frames Per Second) is the frequency at which consecutive images—called frames—appear on a display. It is the heartbeat of Motion Geometry, determining how smooth or "lifelike" a video appears to the human eye.
- ✓ 24 FPS: The cinematic standard. Provides the "motion blur" feel of movies.
- ✓ 30 FPS: The broadcast and social media default for clear, steady motion.
- ✓ 60 FPS+: High-speed fluidity. Essential for gaming and slow-motion capture.
- ✓ File Impact: Doubling FPS roughly doubles the data the calculator must process.
What is Audio kbps?
kbps (Kilobits Per Second) represents the Audio Bitrate, or the amount of data processed to deliver sound. While video consumes the most space, the audio bitrate determines the depth, clarity, and "noise" level of your project's soundtrack.
- ✓ 128 kbps: The standard for basic web streaming and social media.
- ✓ 192 kbps: High-quality digital audio; the "sweet spot" for YouTube.
- ✓ 320 kbps: Industry-leading MP3/AAC quality with near-lossless fidelity.
- ✓ Sonic Depth: Higher kbps preserves high-frequency details and stereo width.
