About the capacity of video files when creating e-learning materials This is Nagai🎮 of Quality Control, who is suffering from a cold that is not completely gone. This time, I would like to share with you a question that we have received many inquiries from our customers: "When uploading e-learning materials, how long is a video file and how much space does it take? This article is an explanation and a small piece of information in response to this question. Please take a look at this article as well. What is a video file? A video file is a series of still images that are shown one after another, using the same principle as a flip book, to give the impression that the pictures are moving. A video file contains a number of images. A video file contains a number of image files, which naturally makes the file size larger. The size (capacity) of a video file depends mainly on the numerical values of factors such as bit rate, resolution, codec, and so on. Let's take a closer look at them one by one. Relationship between video file size and image quality Bit rate In simple terms, it is a unit that expresses "how much data can be transferred. The higher the bit rate number, the higher the image quality and the larger the video file size. Resolution Resolution is a numerical value that expresses the density of pixels in a video. In digital video, it is expressed as "a collection of very small colored dots (pixels). The unit of "dpi" or "ppi" is used. The higher the resolution, the higher the density of dots, and the smaller the resolution, the smaller the size of the video. Codec A codec is a device or software that performs the encoding (compression) and decoding (playback) of data. Handling large-sized videos uncompressed requires large memory, hard disks, etc., or compressing the video capacity to reduce its size. POINT In general, to improve video quality, it is necessary to increase the resolution (fineness) of the video, and to increase the resolution of the video, it is necessary to increase the file size of the video. In particular, the size of the bit rate, which represents the file size per second of video, will greatly affect the quality of the image. However, if the bit rate is too large, it will place a large burden on the performance of the communication line and terminal when distributing the video over the Internet, causing the video to not play smoothly. How to calculate video files It is possible to calculate how much the file size of a video file will be. The data capacity is calculated as follows. ▷Here is the formula: Video bit rate x length (seconds) ÷ 8 (convert bits to bytes) The amount of data per second is the bit rate, so multiply the time and convert it to bytes to find the video file size. Exercise For a 10-minute video at 2.5 Mbps, what is the file size? →2.5Mbps × 600 (seconds) ÷ 8 = 187.5MB (megabytes) ▼ Here is a quick guide to video capacity. Please use this table as a guide when uploading videos. The actual size may go up or down slightly when audio is added, but you can get a rough idea of the size of your video file with this chart. How to upload a video file to learningBOX When uploading a video file, the size of the file may vary depending on the settings used at the time of shooting and the performance of the equipment used during shooting. You can check the capacity of the video file by right-clicking ➡ Properties. Click here to see how to check the capacity of a video file. How to upload a video using YouTube This time, we will show you how to upload a YouTube video using video content provided free of charge by the "IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan). (Source: IPA youtube channel) Registering YouTube videos STEP1: First of all, login to learningBOX. STEP2: Click on the content management screen and go to Other educational materials ➡ YouTube video STEP3: Paste the title name and [embed code of YouTube video] You can easily register your YouTube video by following the above steps. ▼How to upload YouTube videos to learningBOX! If you want to check YouTube videos from the learning screen, don't forget to set the assignment of teaching materials for the folder containing YouTube videos! This setting is often forgotten. If not set, the folder will not appear on the learning screen. Please be careful. You can also upload videos taken with your smartphone, PC, or video camera! Please login to learningBOX as before and go to the content management screen ➡ ⊕ button ➡ Video. Conclusion In this article, we have briefly explained the relationship between video file size and image quality. We believe that many people want to use video for education and training. Our e-learning system (learningBOX) allows anyone to easily set up video materials. Please take this opportunity to try learningBOX. learningBOX is free for up to 10 registered accounts and the service can be used indefinitely.
