What it calculates
The “Codec Bitrate” calculator computes Bitrate, Mbps in Mbps from 4 parameters: frame width (px), frame height (px), frame rate (fps), motion (1 = low, 2 = medium, 4 = high).
Used by photographers and videographers when setting up a shoot.
Example calculation
With parameters Frame width = 1,920 px, Frame height = 1,080 px, Frame rate = 30 fps, Motion (1 = low, 2 = medium, 4 = high) = 1 the result is 4.35 Mbps (Kush gauge rule for H.264; HEVC and AV1 give similar quality at roughly half the bitrate).
How to use
- Enter frame width, frame height, frame rate and motion (1 = low, 2 = medium, 4 = high) — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
- Bitrate, Mbps (Mbps) is calculated automatically as you type.
