How Much Storage Does 1080p (Full HD) at 24 fps Need?

Recording or streaming at 1080p (Full HD) (1920×1080) and 24 fps produces high-quality video, but file sizes can be substantial. The exact storage depends on the codec you choose — H.264 produces larger files, while HEVC and AV1 offer significantly better compression at comparable quality.

For example, a 10-minute 1080p (Full HD) clip at 24 fps with H.264 can easily exceed several gigabytes. Professional workflows using ProRes will require even more space — making external SSDs and NAS systems essential for serious content creators.

Use the calculator above to get exact estimates for your specific settings, including audio quality and recording duration.
