The Need for High-Res Content is Driving File Size Growth

Video file sizes are getting larger as the demand for more high-resolution content increases. With picture and video improvement technologies that can enhance a viewer’s experience, it increases the amount of data required to share and deliver even just an hour of video.

High-Resolution Content File Size Growth

Full HD and 4K video have been popular for quite a few years now, and the availability of 8K video has been made popular with phones like the Samsung Galaxies. Even just an hour of footage at 30 fps, a standard recording speed, for any of these types of video resolution can take up quite a bit of space. 

• Full HD: 130 MB
• 4K: 22.5 GB
• 8K: 36 GB

With high-resolution videos at the tip of consumers’ fingers, they have the power to record home videos at these levels. For companies that produce or distribute content, it brings demand for more high-resolution content. With the increase in file size as the resolution becomes more improved, this means that companies need more storage and better rendering. Without a solution to help, timelines and quality of work can be put in jeopardy. It becomes a challenge to move files and content around the world to share with team members, collaborators, stakeholders, and audiences.
