FAQ

Are calculations sent to a server?

No. These calculators run locally in your browser and do not upload files or inputs.

Are the results exact?

They are planning estimates. Real exports can vary because codecs, motion, audio, metadata, and platform re-encoding all affect final size and quality.

What sample rate should I use?

Use the sample rate of your audio file or editing timeline. Video workflows commonly use 48 kHz, while music often uses 44.1 kHz.

Can this fix audio sync by itself?

No. It gives timing math you can use in an editor or sync tool, but it does not modify media files.
