Resolution vs Bitrate Impact
Bitrate Intelligence
- Your target bitrate is optimal for high-speed streaming targets.
- Storage impact is roughly 150MB per minute—manage disk space accordingly.
- Pro Tip: Use Variable Bitrate (VBR) to save up to 20% on static scenes.
About the Bitrate calculator
Estimate the video bitrate and file size for a resolution, frame rate and quality level.
How to use the Bitrate calculator
- Choose a Resolution Preset or a custom size, and set the Frame Rate (FPS) and Video Duration.
- Pick the Compression Quality (BPP) and Audio Bitrate (kbps).
- Press Calculate Engineering Specs.
Formula and method
Video bitrate = width × height × frame rate × bits per pixel. File size = bitrate × duration ÷ 8.
Tips
- Higher bitrate means better quality but bigger files.
- Streaming platforms publish recommended bitrates for each resolution.
Frequently asked questions
What is bits per pixel?
A measure of how much data is spent on each pixel of each frame. Higher values keep more detail.
