Video & Data Storage Calculator

This calculator helps estimate storage requirements for film and television productions based on camera, codec, resolution, frame rate, shooting days, and roll hours. It provides a practical way to plan RAW, proxy, and total storage needs early in a project.

All figures are estimates derived from manufacturer specifications and reputable third-party sources, scaled where exact values are unavailable. Actual data rates may vary depending on camera settings, compression behaviour, shooting style, and on-set practices.

Use this tool as a planning guide, not a guarantee — always allow additional headroom and confirm final requirements with your camera department, post-production team, or storage vendor.
