  How to get AV Layer’s duration using script?

  Posted by Renata Klimiato on May 15, 2016 at 2:02 pm

  I have a layer in my comp, which is a video file and I need to get it’s duration using script. Can anyone help me? myComp.duration shows me duration of comp, however myComp.layer(2).duration isn’t working…

  Layers don’t have a duration attribute. Only AVItems do (things in the project panel).
  You can get the duration of the layer itself from its inPoint and outPoint, or the duration of its source by: layer.source.duration (not all layers have a source though).
