Video Recording Tool

This tool estimates the final video file size and required storage using duration, resolution, frame rate, and bitrate inputs. It targets editors, producers, and media planners who need quick storage budgeting before shoots, renders, or archiving. Conceptually, it computes a data rate from video and audio inputs, multiplies by the duration, and applies a container overhead factor to approximate file sizes. It can adjust for codec efficiency with a selectable target codec, producing a size range rather than a single value when ranges are supplied. Key benefits include fast planning, reduced risk of over- or under-provisioning storage, and improved project scoping. It supports common formats and resolutions and outputs both numeric bytes and human-friendly MB/GB representations. Core features include input validation, unit normalization, and the ability to return a size range when a bitrate is provided as a min/max pair. Use cases include pre-production budgeting, media asset management, and readiness checks for cloud or on-prem storage.
