Disk size

By default, each Lambda function comes with an ephemereal disk size of:

Remotion VersionDefault
<5.0.02048MB
>=5.0.010240MB

Increasing disk space will allow for longer videos, and speeds up renders because Chrome has access to more disk cache.
Disk.

Adding more disk space will almost not affect the cost of your renders at all (less than 1% more cost).
Therefore we recommend setting the disk size to the maximum possible value: 10240MB.

Approximate maximum video length

Note that we recommend setting the disk size to the maximum possible value: 10240MB.

Disk sizeApproximate Maximum video length
512 MB8 min - 1080p
1024 MB16 min - 1080p
2048 MB32 min - 1080p
4096 MB1h 4min - 1080p
8192 MB2h 8min - 1080p
10240 MB2h 40min - 1080p

These are approximate values and will not exactly match your scenario. Video output size is dependant on the video content and audio. Measure and find the values that work best for you.

Pricing

Using more disk space costs marginally more.
Setting the disk size to the maximum possible value: 10240MB will cost less than 1% more.
See the Lambda pricing page "Lambda Ephemereal Storage Pricing" section for pricing.
The estimatePrice() API does also factor disk size into account.
