How big a video file will be, what resolution, frame rate and bitrate mean, and every gadgets, media and gaming guide on FintechZoom Pro, from headsets and PS5 games to video tools.
How big will my video file be?
A video's file size is roughly its bitrate (how many megabits per second are used to store it) times its length. Higher resolution and frame rate need a higher bitrate for the same quality; better codecs need less. Platforms such as YouTube publish recommended upload bitrates.
Bitrate × time
Video file size
Video plus audio combined; 1 GB = 1,000 MB. Actual size varies with variable-bitrate encoding.
Screen and video terms decoded
Resolution
Pixels across and down: 1080p is 1920×1080, 1440p is 2560×1440 and 4K UHD is 3840×2160. More pixels show more detail on larger screens. See high-resolution screens.
Frame rate and refresh rate
Frames per second in a video, and how often a screen redraws (Hz). Games feel smoother at higher rates if the console or PC can keep up. See best PS5 games and PC cooling.
Codec
The method used to compress video, such as H.264, H.265 (HEVC) or AV1. Newer codecs give similar quality at lower bitrates but need newer hardware.
Audio and subtitles
Clear audio and captions make video easier to follow and more accessible. See subtitles in video marketing, audio to text and gaming headsets.
