The size of a video file will depend on a number of factors:

  • The bitrate (which usually correlates with resolution, e.g. Full HD, 4k, etc)

  • The number of frames per second (fps) that are recorded

  • The video codec used to store the file

We recommend that users record video at 720p or 1080p at 30 frames per second. Higher qualities will result in significantly higher file sizes.

Very rough estimates

Many factors will influence the actual size of a video, but here are some very rough guiding calculations:
