Free 1080p Black Screen Video: Full HD Files, Real Sizes, Every Format
A native 1920×1080 black clip for Full HD monitors, TVs, OBS scenes, and editing timelines. Pure black throughout, no audio track, no fade at either end. Pick a duration from 5 seconds to 1 hour and a container, and the file is yours to keep: the 30-minute Full HD MP4 measures 367,062 bytes, about 358 KB.

Full HD Displays and Fullscreen Behavior
Most laptops, office monitors, meeting-room TVs, and classroom projectors still run at 1920×1080, so a native file puts no scaler in the signal path. Play it fullscreen and anything still visible is the display or the software, not the footage: a hovering cursor, a notification banner, a control bar that will not hide, a backlight glow along one edge. For a projector check in a dark room the 1-minute file at 18,558 bytes is plenty.
OBS Scenes and Stream Intermissions
The default OBS canvas is 1080p, so a native source drops in without a scale filter and switches without a resampling hitch. Streamers use it as the opening scene before an intro stinger fires, as an intermission behind a spoken back-in-five bed, and as a hard cut when something on screen must disappear now. Because this is a media file rather than a color source, it travels inside a scene collection export and can be handed to a co-host who needs to match your layout. The 5-minute 1080p MP4 is 62,382 bytes, so a whole folder of durations costs less than one desktop screenshot.
Editing Plates, Chapter Gaps, and End Slates
A black plate at the resolution of the sequence means the editor resizes nothing: no interpolation pass, no soft edge where a crossfade meets it, no surprise at export. The usual jobs are a gap between chapters, a hold at the tail while outro narration finishes, a placeholder where a licensed shot has not arrived, and a base layer under titles that need pure black behind them. Keeping one copy of each duration in a shared folder also means every editor on a series cuts against an identical frame count instead of trimming a new matte each episode.
Choosing WebM or MP4: Full HD Is Where the Answer Flips
At 1080p the better container genuinely changes with duration, which is not true at 4K or 8K. Under a minute the VP9 encode wins by a wide margin: the 5-second WebM is 1,837 bytes against 8,037 for the MP4, and the 10-second WebM is 3,700 against 8,402. By 30 seconds and 1 minute the two are nearly level, WebM sitting at roughly 91 percent of the MP4. From 5 minutes upward the order reverses and never flips back, settling at a steady 1.27 to 1.29 times: 79,160 bytes against 62,382 at five minutes, 471,679 against 367,062 at thirty. Short clip bound for a web page, take the WebM. Five minutes or longer, take the MP4.
Signage, Kiosks, and Looping Room Displays
Lobby boards, menu screens, and exhibition displays often need a scheduled dark stretch rather than a power-down, because the player has to stay awake for the next cue. A Full HD file matches the native panel on most commercial signage, loops with no scaling step, and behaves like a normal media item in playlist software that would choke on a blank slide. Longer durations also mean the playlist advances less often overnight, and at 358 KB the 30-minute MP4 fits on the smallest stick in the drawer alongside the rest of the rotation.
Câu hỏi thường gặp
Is 1080p enough for a fade to black on YouTube?
For any timeline finishing at 1080p it is exactly right, and YouTube re-encodes every upload regardless. The one case where a Full HD plate is the wrong pick is a sequence mastering at 4K or above, where an upscaled plate can show a soft edge at the boundary of a dissolve.
Should I download the WebM or the MP4 at Full HD?
Under a minute the WebM is far smaller: 1,837 bytes against 8,037 at five seconds. From five minutes on the MP4 wins by about 1.27 times, 367,062 bytes against 471,679 at thirty. If the clip is headed for an editor or an offline player, take the MP4 whatever the duration. WebM is the choice when the destination is a browser.
Why is the MOV exactly 53 bytes smaller than the MP4?
Both wrap the same H.264 stream. For the 30-minute Full HD pair the video hashes identically on either side, so the 53-byte gap is container header bookkeeping and nothing else. Pick whichever your software prefers.
How large is the Full HD file at each duration?
As MP4: 8,037 bytes at 5 seconds, 8,402 at 10 seconds, 10,002 at 30 seconds, 18,558 at 1 minute, 62,382 at 5 minutes, 123,318 at 10 minutes, 367,062 at 30 minutes, and 732,679 bytes, about 715 KB, for the hour. Black compresses almost perfectly, so even the hour-long file lands in a second or two.
Does the 1080p file carry any audio?
There is no audio track in it at all. That is why it slots into an OBS scene or a timeline with nothing to mute, and why running it fullscreen will not interrupt music or a podcast coming from another app.
What frame rate is the 1080p version?
Five frames per second. A still black frame has nothing to move, so a higher rate would only add bytes: at Full HD a keyframe measures 6,172 bytes while each repeated frame after it costs on the order of a dozen. Players handle a 5 fps clip normally, and conforming it to a sequence rate changes nothing about the picture.
Can I use the Full HD clip in something I sell?
Yes. The 1080p files are royalty-free for commercial as well as personal work: client edits, paid courses, monetized channels, broadcast. No attribution is required and there is nothing on this site to purchase. The Terms of Service page has the exact wording.
