Default How long should a film or film clip last?

rfm2007

I think you are missing an essential point, and that is size of a file does not determine how long a film (or film clip) will last. At best, file size it is a rough guide and nothing more.

The timing of a film is dependant on the compression ratio and file type used to composed that film into a computer file, e.g. wmv, mov, mpg, avi, etc. For example, a large file (of about 200MB) could only last a few minutes (and I have come across plenty of those) while another file of the same size can last over an hour.

Therefore, the timing and quality of a film or film clip depends on several other factors than just size.

Hope this helps.
