âť“ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a video bitrate calculator?
A video bitrate calculator helps you determine the exact bitrate needed to compress your video to a specific file size. It takes your video length and target file size to give you the optimal bitrate for smooth playback and quality.
Why should I use Bitrate Wizard?
Bitrate Wizard removes the guesswork from video encoding. Instead of trial and error, you get instant, accurate bitrate recommendations that help you hit your target file size on the first try—saving you time and frustration.
How does video bitrate affect file size?
Bitrate controls how much data is processed per second in your video. Higher bitrates mean better quality but larger files, while lower bitrates reduce file size but can lower quality. Our calculator finds the perfect balance based on your target file size.
Can I use Bitrate Wizard with any video editor?
Yes! Bitrate Wizard works with all popular video editors and encoding software, like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, HandBrake, and more. Simply set your encoder’s bitrate to the value we calculate.
How do I choose the right audio bitrate?
Audio bitrate affects sound quality and file size. Our presets range from no audio (0 Kbps) to maximum quality (320 Kbps). Pick the one that fits your needs and Bitrate Wizard adjusts the video bitrate accordingly.
Will this tool compress or encode my video?
No, Bitrate Wizard is a calculator only. It does not compress or encode videos. Use it to plan your export settings, then apply those bitrates in your video software.
What units does Bitrate Wizard support?
You can enter your target file size in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB), and get bitrate results in kilobits per second (Kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), and kilobytes per second (KB/s).
