Record Duration
These tables show approximate record duration in minutes and seconds based on format,
project frame rate and media size.
The maximum recording time for your storage media can vary depending on the data capacity
your CFast card, SD card or USB-C flash disk, and the recording format and frame rate you
choose. For example, the storage rate for Apple ProRes 422 HQ at 3840 x 2160 is
approximately 880 Mbps. At 24 frames per second, you can record approximately 47 minutes of
video on a 256GB CFast 2.0 card. At the same settings you can record approximately
23 minutes of video on a 128GB CFast card, which is approximately half the record duration of a
256GB CFast card.
It should be noted that recording duration of media can vary slightly between different
manufacturers. It can also vary depending on whether the storage media is formatted as exFAT
or Mac OS X Extended.
