When using the ProRes 4444 codec, an average of 15 minutes of material will fit onto a 32 GB SxS PRO card. However, since ProRes is a variable bit rate codec, it could be slightly more or less. So ALEXA will show a very conservative estimate in the display, which is 13 minutes. In most cases, there are about 2 more minutes available on the card.
