Uncompressed / RAW Video Size Calculator
Compute the data rate and size of uncompressed or camera-RAW video from resolution, bit depth, frame rate and duration.
Uncompressed 4K RGB 12-bit is ~1.1 GB/s — over 65 GB a minute, the reason on-set RAW records to fast SSD/CFexpress and why bare uncompressed is reserved for short VFX plates. Bayer RAW (one value per photosite) is ~3× smaller than debayered RGB at the same bit depth.
Rule / Formula
Compute the data rate and size of uncompressed or camera-RAW video from resolution, bit depth, frame rate and duration.
