With the help of filming equipment, market demand, and production technology, the effect of film and television production is getting better and better, and the video files of a project often reach the TB level. This article will explain the factors that affect video size, and how to help the film and television production industry solve the problem of 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. How to Transfer Large Movie File? Raysync is a high-speed large file transfer solution specially customized for the film and television industry. Unlimited file transfer size and file type, supports high-speed transfer of PB-level large files, and can send tens of thousands of massive files at the same time.

For more than three years, Rusk Media has earned recognition from digitally native audiences around the world with a wealth of content on social channels. Entertainment content such as Playground and Alright! are viewed more than 500 million times a month. In this interview, we are glad to invite Mr Udhay, the head of the post-production from Rusk Media, to discuss the technical development and file delivery in today’s media market. Thank you very much for joining our interview. Could you please have a brief introduction of yourself first? Hi Raysync! My name is Udhay. I'm from India. Now I'm working in Rusk Media. We have two offices in Mumbai and New Delhi. We are into content development like OTT platform and UGC-gaming platform and creating content for other India's famous platforms. All right, as head of the post production of Rusk Media, what is your department's Day to day workflow? Now we are into digital media. We will produce a lot of content for the media platform every month, about 8 episodes per month, and 2-3 hours for various channels and platforms. How long does post production usually take for an episode? Usually, it takes three to five days. It depends on our target like the content delivery time. It also depends on the budget, the platform, and quality requirements. What challenges have you and your team encountered during post production? The media technology is going up within the last three years, now we can achieve 4k, 6k, and 8k. But technically in post-production, we are rely on HD proxy format. The reason is the bandwidth, whenever the technology improves, the bandwidth going to be increased. But the infrastructure that we have worldwide, we have a problem accommodating 4K or 6k workflow, because the data size is increased, too. Those bring problems to post-production studio like us, our challenge is how we use the 4K data in post-production. Okay, can you share the project with the largest amount of data transfer you encountered? Yeah. Three months back we started a project called Playground. The basic concept of Playground is a reality show, and it has more than 40 episodes. Day by day we have to start shooting, which it's a different workflow from when we are making television. It's more challenging. We released these episodes on Amazon every 24 hours. The problem we face is that we receive 3TB of live footage every day. Our post-production team and marketing team are sitting in different cities. Every day I have to transfer the episode particular footage to both servers. When we are using a normal cloud like AWS, I have to upload the files first, then they have to download it. The process takes so much time. When doing reality shows, the timing is very important. We need a real-time file transfer solution. I once tried to search a lot of software, but I'm not satisfied with two problems, one is the cost, second is the workflow. Finally I found Raysync for our Playground projects. I made a demo test with the Raysync agent, and I'm very happy with the test performance. We use Raysync for transferring more than 20 TB during 30 days. So please talk about how Raysync help your team encounter this difficulty to achieve an efficient and standardized post production process? Yeah, when we started using Raysync, it helps me a lot. I have to upload TV data to both locations daily. If I use AWS, it will take so much time because every cloud service has a limitation for upload and download, it's not about my bandwidth, it's about the server’s bandwidth. Now I have Raysync, the speed is good at all times. I can transfer the footage over the entire team works very quickly. I upload the data and they can automatically start working without any delay. During that 30 days moreover, I transferred more than 20dB of raw footage to both servers, it was a big challenge. And I did it with Raysync. Great. You just mentioned that you use Raysync everyday. May I know that? Which features are you most satisfied with? Point-to-point transfer, cause you don’t need another person to be there anymore. If you use a cloud file transfer solution, then someone has to download files manually. When I used the Raysync point-to-point function, I just need to enter the user ID, and then start transfer. It's like magic. And you don't need to worry about the file because you will get an email confirmation, and you can see the real-time data transfer graph. You have confidence that we are sending the right footage to the right place, that is I'm very happy with that. Thank you for the very good comment of Raysync. May I know that how did you know Raysync? I’ve tried to find a point-to-point file transfer solution. About two years ago I had a chance to use Filecatalyst, but they have a lot of restrictions. So I try to find out an alternative. So luckily I got Raysync, I immediately contacted Raysync, and the good part is, within 24 hours I got a reply and the Raysync demo account, for another 24 hours I checked the Raysync demo with Raysync team. All those made me more confident because when they started selling the product, I feel very comfortably with those talented people, these people is ready to support all the time. I'm very impressed. At the initial stage, I have a few issues understanding how it works, but the Raysync team resolve all the issues. 30 days transfer 20TB to each location, which is impossible with any other software, Raysync helped me a lot. Okay, the last question is what do you think of Raysync team support service? Raysync team support service is like, even if I call at 10:00pm, then I'll get a response within 12 hours. Online support is very important because everything is all related to technical. Last three months I got more than seven technical support within 12 hours from Raysync. So I'm very happy with that. They are ready to implement new concepts and new ideas.

It is easy to transfer files from PC to mobile. This article describes the five fastest ways to transfer files from a mobile device to a computer. Remember before you had to split files between multiple floppy disks to move them between computers? Or is it the inconvenience of burning and ripping data from rewritable discs? Fortunately, we have moved on from such primitive methods. Although file transfer has never been faster than it is now, for many of us, file transfer still feels like it takes a long time to complete. Is there a quick and easy way to transfer files between phones or between PC and mobile devices? Here are some solutions you should check. From now on, you will be able to move files at a faster speed, which may surprise you. 1. File Transfer From Windows to Windows The best method for Windows to Windows data movement depends on how often you transfer. For one-time file transfers, it is best to use methods such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct. In order for bluetooth to work properly, both sending and receiving Windows computers must be compatible with Bluetooth. Wi-Fi Direct is similar to bluetooth, except that files are sent and received directly via Wi-Fi. On the other hand, if you need to transfer a large number of files every day, which may be part of regular office procedures or workflows, setting up shared folders or sharing external drives on the network is more convenient than other methods. The computer can access and extract files on demand. 2. Transfer Files Between Windows, Mac, and Linux In this case, the main obstacle is that each PC may have its own unique way of storing file data. For example, most modern Windows computers use NTFS, while Mac computers use APFS or HFS+, and Linux computers use EXT3 or EXT4. Unfortunately, converting data between file systems is not always easy. However, in the case of Windows to Mac data transfer, the situation is not bad. Starting from Mac OS X 10.6 , as long as the user makes a necessary system setting change, Mac can read and write in NTFS format. This means you can share a folder between Mac and Windows and then use that folder to transfer files. The same concept can be applied to data transfer from Windows to Linux, but the process is a bit more. 3. Transfer Files Between Windows and iOS In most cases, apart from music, there is almost no need to transfer anything between Windows and iOS. In this case, you can continue to use iTunes to sync your media library, but iTunes on Windows tends to be annoying Frustrated. The good news is that there is a better way! FileApp is an application that can be used on iPhone and iPad, it acts as a mobile file manager. Using it, you can browse and open any file residing on the device you are using, including formats such as PDF, DOC, XLS, and PPT. You can decide in which application the file is opened. However, what we are really interested in is FileApp's ability to share files via Wi-Fi. It actually turns your mobile device into an FTP server, allowing any computer to connect and download files. Please note that anyone connected can view all files on the device 4. Transfer Files Between Windows and Android If you wish to send a single file instead of opening the device as a powerful file server, please consider using Pushbullet to send files on the network to any connected computer with the tap of a button. Pushbullet’s free plan has a maximum file transfer size of 25MB, but Pushbullet has many alternative methods worth using, including AirDroid and Send Anywhere. Of course, you can always use a USB cable to plug your Android device directly into your computer, as described in our guide to transfer files from Android to PC or from desktop PC to Android. In addition, Raysync also provides transfer services between Windows and Android, which is our new higlight! 5. Transfer Files Between Any Two Devices In addition to all the above methods, you can also use some other technologies and services, which may work no matter what device you are trying to bridge. Dropbox is a good choice. Dropbox is a that stores files on its servers and makes them accessible from any device supported by Dropbox . Use the provided public folders to easily share files. The disadvantage of using Dropbox or any other cloud storage service is that your files must be transferred through an intermediary, who is inherently less secure and less private. In addition, you must upload from the source device to Dropbox first, and then download from Dropbox to the target device. This is a small trouble, but it can rule out the possibility of sending large videos. You can choose the best suitable file transfer method according to your needs, there is always one suitable for your business.

Data is growing explosively, doubling almost every two years. What will increase with it is not only the amount of data but also the capacity of a single file: 2-3G for a picture, 4-5G for a manuscript, 3-4G for a video clip, a dozen G for a design drawing. In general, when organizations send files with external partners or customers, most of them use conventional methods such as mail, FTP, etc. for file transfer, but when the file capacity is above 2-3G, the above method becomes very slow, and not only a speed issue but also the following problems: 1. When using traditional methods to send large files, the transferring, uploading, and downloading is slow, which makes the cycle of delivering and obtaining the files longer, which will take up a lot of time and energy, resulting in lower work efficiency of the organization. 2. When using traditional methods to send large files, it is easy to have transfer interruptions and send errors. Data security and integrity cannot be guaranteed. Not only does it require a lot of manpower to carry out continuous tracking, but also it is very likely that business loopholes may occur to the enterprise. Cause huge losses. 3. Some transferring methods have restrictions on the size and quantity of files, such as the number of GBs that cannot be transmitted, and the maximum number of files to be transmitted at a time. This affects the normal business process for some companies that need to transfer large files or multiple files. Therefore, in this era of rapid data development, how companies can transfer large files safely, stably, and efficiently? Large file transfer tools are indispensable. So, how to accelerate file transfer? Raysync accelerated file transfer software can easily meet the challenges of the large file transfer. There are mainly the following 3 types of products to achieve accelerate file transfer: Raysync Proxy Acceleration Without any redevelopment, the original application system can be integrated with Raysync through the standard proxy protocol to own the high-speed transfer capacity. Features: Supports Multiple Proxy Protocols Support Multiple Integration Approaches High Performance of Raysync Extremely Low Occupancy of Resources Support Cross-platform Seamless Integration with Common Software Advantages Transmission Speed Increased by A 100 Times According to the actual test results, the big file transmission speed of FTP applications/web applications can increase by over 100 times, and the maximum speed of a single connection can reach 1Gbps. Optimize The Real-time Transmission Experience Depended on the multi-channel design of the Raysync transfer protocol, the transmission delay caused by the TCP three-way handshake will be eliminated and the real-time performance can be increased by 100%. Raysync FTP Acceleration Raysync FTP acceleration product is a software that can directly connect to the existing FTP server system. After using Raysync FTP acceleration, the FTP transfer speed can be increased by 10 to 100 times. Features: Easy to use High-speed transfer High performance of Raysync Intelligent compression Load balancing Raysync RaySSH Acceleration A perfect alternative to ssh/ssh / SCP / Rsync tools of OpenSSH, a sharp accelerate file transfer tool for Linux / Unix systems. Features: Functions are fully compatible with OpenSSH Command-line is fully compatible with OpenSSH Fast transfer speed In Summary Speed determines efficiency. Enterprises need to realize the rapid sending of large files to improve work efficiency and make enterprises one step faster. Raysync’s three accelerated file transfer products can help companies discover and use the value of data, and manage access, and exchange file data more conveniently and efficiently.

Transnational file transfer are becoming more and more prominent, and due to the impact of the epidemic, file transfers at home and abroad have become more and more frequent. Therefore, a fast, stable, and secure file transfer software is needed to meet the needs of transnational work. Which software can be used? Let me talk about some of the problems faced by transnational file transfer. The first is that the physical conditions of the network will affect the stability of data transmission, and data transmission will be interrupted. The second is that traditional transmission modes such as FTP have high latency, and the packet loss rate seriously affects the stability of data transmission; Finally, the security and confidentiality of data cannot be guaranteed during remote transmission. Based on the above issues, the Raysync transnational file transfer solution is committed to meeting the data transmission needs of enterprises or external partners, providing efficient and controllable accelerated transmission of large files, ultra-long distance, transnational network data transmission.
