Video Calculators

Video file size and bitrate, duration, frame counts and timecodes, recording time on a drive and resolutions.

Key video formulas

Video File Sizebytes = (video bitrate + audio bitrate) × seconds ÷ 8
Video Bitratebitrate ≈ width × height × fps × motion factor ÷ 1,000,000
Video Durationseconds = file size in bits ÷ bitrate in bits per second
Frames to Timeseconds = frames ÷ frame rate
Time to Framesframes = seconds × frame rate
Recording Timeseconds = usable bytes × 8 ÷ bitrate in bits per second
Video Resolutionpixels per frame = width × height
Aspect RatioW : H = (W ÷ GCD) : (H ÷ GCD) · H = W × b ÷ a

Video questions

What bitrate should I use for 1080p?

About 8 Mbps for good quality streaming, 12–20 Mbps for high-motion content, and 50 Mbps or more for editing masters.

What are the common aspect ratios?

16:9 for HD video and most monitors, 4:3 for older TVs and iPads, 21:9 for ultrawide displays, 1:1 for square social posts, 9:16 for vertical video and 3:2 for many camera sensors.
