2. Calculate from target size
Divide target size by duration, then subtract audio bitrate to estimate video bitrate.
- Keep a backup before editing.
- Use a clear filename.
- Open the final file once before sharing.
3. Pre-upload checks
Different platforms recommend different lengths, ratios, and resolutions.
4. Use NB Video
Enter duration and target size in NB Video to estimate a practical bitrate.
5. Checklist and tips
For repeated work, decide a filename rule and folder structure first. A small routine saves a lot of document cleanup time.
