    Use the Duration Marker rather than two separate markers.

    Many different ways to get your duration in Resolve.

    Based on IN and OUT markers, in your timeline, you can read the duration on the top left part of your timeline monitor.

    Like Peter mentions it, you can also convert your IN and OUT markers to a Duration marker: just mouse click-right in the area where the markers show, and select “Convert In and Out to Duration markers”, or select from the Mark menu. Unlike the first option, you can keep as many duration markers as you wish and go back to them if needed.

    If you need to get a quick time duration from a clip, position the playhead above that clip and hit the X key: it will automatically position the IN and OUT markers for that clip.

    I would recommend you look at the DaVinci Resolve Reference Manual. Duration markers is explained on p566.
