All right, it's great to have new memebers & all, but you need to learn to search the forums and find info. There's already threads about this, plus other things you've asked in other threads. Check the link in my sig, it's a great place to start.

That depends upon the length of the movie (in minutes), it's resolution, color system, sound format and encoding. But mostly, it's the resolution.

For instance, if you made the file 240 x 160, it would be about less than 200 megabytes. Not very big at all. Now take the same movie, but put it in 1080p (1920 × 1080), it could be up to 15 gigabytes or more.

Hell, let's go to Red Epic 617, which is measured in 225 MB/s of footage. That means that a 90 minute movie would be (quick and dirty math here) would be 1.2 terabytes.

So yeah, resolutions makes a huge factor in file size. There's also things like what sound format is it in, how many sound channels, color format, extra audio tracks or subtitles... lots of factors.

^Search it up.

But, the long and the short of it is that just like how one song is different size from another, same goes for movies.
