How to help the movie and television production industry to solve the large video file transfer?

How Big Is A Movie File?

What is the size of a 1080p movie for around 2 hours? This question depends on the video compression ratio. The movies we see are generally compressed. Generally, an uncompressed 1080P video for two hours has a size of nearly 8TB. After compression, the Blu-ray video can reach about 30G, and ordinary quality video can reach about 5G.

This is just the final release video size. For the film and television production team, a large number of special effects, subtitles, footage and other files will be generated during the film production cycle. These files can be very large.

Common Name	Pixel Size	File Size for 1 hour of video
720p	1280 x 720	800 – 900MB
1080p	1920 x 1080	1.2 – 1.4GB
2K	2048 x 1080	2.8 – 3GB
4K	3840 x 2160	20 – 22GB
8K	7680 x 4320	36 – 38GB

What Makes Movie File Sizes So Large?

Why is the video file size of the same 1080p movie different? To understand this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the number of frames, resolution, and bit rate.

1080p refers to the resolution of a single image. The resolution affects image size and is proportional to image size: the higher the resolution, the larger the image; The lower the resolution, the smaller the image.

And the frame rate will determine how many pictures of this size are displayed on your monitor in one second. The number of frames will affect the smoothness of the video picture. The larger the number of frames, the smoother the video picture. The higher the frame rate, the more frames pass through each second.

The bit rate is the amount of information to be decoded by the video in a unit of time, and the unit of the bit rate is kbps. The larger the sampling rate per unit of time, the higher the video precision, and the closer the processed file is to the original file.

Therefore, the more frames, the more high-definition pictures, and the larger the bit rate. The bit rate is generally proportional to the file size. When the bit rate remains unchanged, the higher the video resolution, the less clear the video will be. In the case of a certain resolution, the higher the bit rate, the clearer the video.
