Three points in one job, with the numbers computed by the same engine the calculators use. Each link opens the calculator with the scenario already filled in.
Packing cards for a shoot
A 64 GB card recording 100 Mbps video with a 128 Kbps audio track holds 1 h 25 min 13 s of continuous footage — 1:25:13 on the clock. A six-hour day at that setting needs four cards, and that is before any reserve for the card you would rather not fill to the last byte.

Meeting a hard size limit
A twelve-minute cut that must arrive under 2 GB leaves 22.094 Mbps for the picture once a 128 Kbps audio track is accounted for. Set the encoder a little below that if the limit is enforced rather than advisory, because a variable-bitrate encode targets an average rather than a ceiling.

Delivering the export
An 8 GB master over a 25 Mbps upload takes 42 min 40 s at the full advertised speed, and longer in practice. If you have measured your real throughput, enter it as the efficiency and the estimate moves with it.
