Never Run Out of Space: Video Storage Calc
Video files are huge. The **Video Storage Calc** tool at **Online Tool Base** estimates exactly how many gigabytes your shoot will consume. Based on your codec's bitrate (Mbps) and recording duration, it helps you pack the right number of SD cards or SSDs.
Bitrate varies wildly. A YouTube rip might be 8 Mbps, while ProRes 422 HQ is 700+ Mbps. **onlinetoolbase.online** handles the conversion from Megabits-per-second to Gigabytes-per-hour, ensuring you aren't caught formatting cards mid-ceremony.
Why Use This Tool?
If you have a 64GB card and shoot 4K at 100Mbps, how long can you record? 5 hours? 1 hour? The answer is roughly 85 minutes. Knowing this limit prevents data loss and helps you budget for media storage on long documentary projects.
