space required for HD 8 bit

Hi guys,
Does anyone know the space that I need for either a single frame of 1920x1080 8 bit or one second at 25 fps in FCP?

I ask as I'm trying to calculate the storage required to conform 100 minutes of 1080/50i and then grade it in FCP .

In addition, is it much harder going to Color to grade as opposed to doing it all in FCP?.. ie. I know the benfits Color would give but have all the issues been sorted out?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Approximately 104 Mb for one second.

Approximately 625 Gb for 100 minutes.

Google AJA Data Rate Calculator. Very handy.

I can't answer your Color questions as I haven't gone there yet. There is a Color forum here on the Cow that would be worth a visit.

Best,

Tom Meegan
