# Saylor Innovations Video Storage Planner

> Saylor Innovations Video Storage Planner is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Calculates GB per hour, number of memory cards needed, write-speed requirements, and backup/offload time for a video shoot based on codec, duration, and shooting parameters.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-video-storage-planner-d2d03493
```

Example prompt: How many 256 GB cards will I need for a 5-day shoot at 8 hours per day using ProRes 4444 4K at 60fps with a 10:1 shooting ratio, and how long will offload take at 400 MB/s?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to plan physical media and storage logistics for a video production shoot — especially when balancing codec selection, shooting ratio, card count, and offload time. It is more specific and production-focused than a generic file size calculator, offering presets for industry codecs like BRAW, RED, ProRes, DNxHR, and H.265.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized codec preset returns an error or uses default
- Conflicting parameters (both hours_per_day and finished_minutes supplied) may produce unexpected results
- Non-numeric values for numeric fields like bitrate_mbps or card_gb will cause a validation error
- Missing required implicit assumptions (e.g. no codec and no bitrate_mbps) may result in a default or error response

## How this service works

GB per hour, cards needed, write-speed requirement, backup and offload time for a shoot

## Output

Returns GB per hour for the selected codec/bitrate, total storage required for the shoot, number of memory cards needed given card size, the required write speed, and estimated backup and offload time based on the reader speed provided.
