How to Use This Calculator

Select Resolution (720p, 1080p, 4K, etc.) to set the baseline data requirement.
Choose Frame Rate (fps) — higher frame rates increase bitrate proportionally.
Pick Codec Quality (Low, Medium, High) — H.265 High uses far less data than H.264 High.
Bitrate (Mbps) is the recommended encoding target for streaming or export.
File Size per Minute (MB) and File Size per Hour (GB) help you plan storage.
Min Upload Speed (Mbps) tells you what internet connection is needed for live streaming.

How the result changes with Resolution Width

Resolution Width: Horizontal resolution in pixels (e.g., 1920 for 1080p).
Resolution Height: Vertical resolution in pixels (e.g., 1080 for 1080p).
Frame Rate: Frames per second of the video.
Codec (0=H.264, 1=H.265, 2=ProRes): 0 = H.264, 1 = H.265/HEVC (more efficient), 2 = ProRes (high quality).
