Efficiency Tip
H.265 (HEVC) can provide the same quality as H.264 at roughly half the bitrate, significantly reducing storage requirements for the same visual fidelity.
Overview
Video file size calculation based on bitrate, duration, and compression. Essential for storage planning and upload time estimation. Higher quality = larger files.

Pro Tips
4K video usually requires 4-5 times higher bitrate than 1080p for comparable quality.
Variable Bitrate (VBR) is usually more efficient than Constant Bitrate (CBR) for most video content.
If you are uploading to YouTube, check their 'Recommended upload encoding settings' for the best bitrate for your resolution.
ProRes and other 'Mezzanine' codecs use very high bitrates but are easier for computers to edit than H.264.
