Apple ProRes Raw File Size

[suspensionofdisbelief]

I've looked everywhere. If anyone can tell me file sizes for the new release it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I suggest that you Google "Apple ProRes RAW white paper"

https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Apple_ProRes_RAW_White_Paper.pdf

On page 7 you will see the comparison of the data rates. Data rates and files sizes are proportional.

Thanks Ray. I am trying to find out file size without having the camera yet, obviously. My calculations have to be off somehow. I used PRORES RAW HQ and an average 300 Mb/s. That gives me roughly 18Gigs a minute which means I could shoot around 26 minutes per 480 GB SSD. I think the calculation is off. If anyone can chime in that has been shooting the new Apple Raw codes I would appreciate it.

Assuming that your 300Mb/s data rate is correct (i.e. 300 megabits per seconds) that would equate to 37.5 MB/s (megabytes per second) which is 2.25GB per minute. At that rate your 480GB SSD should give around 213 minutes of record time.....

Here is a link with the calculations:

Thanks Ray, very helpful. That puts me in the ballpark of where I thought the file size would be if I shoot in 6k RAW.
