Estimated Storage per Second: 0 MB

This bar shows the *uncompressed* size required to store just one second of footage. This number helps explain why video files are heavily **compressed**!

The Calculation Formula:

$$ \text{Frame Size (MB)} = \frac{\text{Width} \times \text{Height} \times \text{Bytes per Pixel}}{1024^2} $$

(1 MB = $1024^2$ Bytes)

**Important Disclaimer:** This calculator estimates the size of a **RAW, UNCOMPRESSED** video frame. The actual video files you use (like MP4 or MOV) are heavily compressed, meaning their file size will be much, much smaller than this estimate.
