I Prompted ChatGPT: Give me example of the difference in file size of a 1GB high motion video between all different crf qualities.
Response:
The file size of a video depends on several factors, including the CRF value, the resolution, frame rate, and video content. Here's an estimated comparison of the file size differences for a 1GB high-motion video at various CRF values using the H.265 codec:
CRF Value | Approximate File Size |
---|---|
CRF 18 | ~1.2 GB (larger than the original, near lossless) |
CRF 20 | ~900 MB to 1GB (similar to original, high quality) |
CRF 23 | ~700 MB to 800 MB (slightly reduced file size, good quality) |
CRF 25 | ~600 MB to 700 MB (noticeably smaller file size, still decent quality) |
CRF 28 | ~400 MB to 500 MB (significant reduction, quality loss may be visible) |
Key Points:
This table gives rough estimates, as actual file sizes can vary depending on the specific content of the video.
Comments on ChatGPT's Response:
I used CRF 22 on a video, and 1 hour of content of a high motion, 40 FPS video used up to 4GB of space.
