Production · Data
Pick your camera and format. Everything else is built from its bitrate.
Planning estimates. Bitrates are approximate typical values; real files vary with scene detail and camera model. ProRes uses Apple's published 3840×2160 target rates at 23.976 fps (HQ 707, 422 471, LT 328, Proxy 145 Mbps), scaled with frame rate. Decimal units throughout: 1 GB = 1000 MB, 1 TB = 1000 GB. Cards and drives are filled to 90%. Audio: 48 kHz/24-bit mono WAV = 8.64 MB per minute per track.
