Converting to ProRes - How Much Storage?

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks, I have 1.8TB of 5DM2 (38mbps) footage & 1.9TB of XDCam (35mbps) footage. Total= 3.7TB.
Does anyone know how much storage space would this require (approx) to convert it to ProRes? I couldn't find an online calculator that would help.

Also, would ProRes LT be enough to support the conversion vs. ProRes?

Prores data rates are based on the frame rate and resolution. 24 fps 1080p is 117 Mb/s on normal prores, or about 3x the data rate you have. That means you would need about 11.1 TB to store it.

Prores lt is smaller. If i were you, i would convert one or two files and judge the quality difference yourself, but i imagine its fairly similar.
