Gaming Clip Analyzer (Video Bitrate, Codec & FPS Inspector)
Inspect video dimensions, container codecs, bitrates, and audio streams of gameplay clips.
TL;DR: Gaming Clip Analyzer reads video metadata directly inside your browser to report exact video resolution, duration, average bitrate (Mbps), codec profile, and estimated file size breakdown.

How do you check the bitrate and framerate of a gaming video clip?
Direct Answer: To check a gaming clip's specs, load the MP4 or WebM video file into an in-browser media inspector. The tool reads header metadata to calculate resolution (e.g. 1920×1080), duration, file size, and average video/audio bitrate (Total File Size in bits divided by Duration in seconds).
In-Browser Execution: Calculated instantly inside your browser using client-side JavaScript with zero latency, downloads, or telemetry tracking.
How to Use the Gaming Clip Analyzer
- Select or drag and drop your gameplay video clip (MP4, WebM, MOV) into the analyzer.
- Review the parsed video container, resolution (width × height), and aspect ratio.
- Inspect the calculated average bitrate (Mbps), audio sample rate, and duration.
- Check compatibility recommendations for YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Discord.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
- For 1080p 60FPS clips on YouTube, a bitrate of 12–15 Mbps provides crisp, artifact-free motion.
- For Twitch streaming, the standard maximum ingest bitrate is 6,000–8,000 Kbps (6–8 Mbps).
- Clips with high bitrates (> 50 Mbps from ShadowPlay or OBS NVENC) should be compressed before sharing on Discord or Reddit.

All calculations run locally inside your browser using JavaScript and Web APIs. Your hardware data, settings, and gameplay inputs are never uploaded to any remote server. Complete privacy by design.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Bitrate is calculated as: Bitrate (Mbps) = (File Size in Megabits) / (Duration in seconds). For example, a 60-second video of 75MB equals (75 × 8) / 60 = 10 Mbps.
- Social platforms re-encode uploaded videos with aggressive compression codecs. Uploading at 1440p (even if upscaled from 1080p) triggers YouTube's higher-quality VP09/AV01 codec profile rather than the standard AVC1 codec.
- H.264 is universally compatible; H.265 delivers ~30% better compression efficiency; and modern AV1 delivers ~50% better compression than H.264 at identical visual quality, making it ideal for streaming.
- No. The analyzer uses the browser's native HTML5 Video APIs and FileReader to inspect metadata purely in local memory without uploading a single byte.
- Yes. The analyzer displays exact file size in MB and calculates the necessary target bitrate required to fit your clip into Discord's 10MB or 25MB limits.
- For local gameplay recording in OBS using NVENC, CQC (Constant Quality) with CQ level 18–20 or CBR at 25,000–40,000 Kbps (25–40 Mbps) produces crystal-clear esports footage.
- 160 to 320 kbps AAC stereo audio provides studio-grade clarity for in-game positional sound effects and Discord voice chat comms.
