  • How do I export a LIST of “Media Duration” from Adobe Premiere CC?

    Posted by Rachel Kodner on June 30, 2014 at 3:49 pm

    I have over 100 clips in Adobe Premiere. I can easily read their “Media Duration” within the project, but I have to log the media duration to an excel doc and typing out each file’s individual media duration would be very timely since I have over 100 files. So I want to export a batch list that includes a “media duration” column. So I select all of my footage, and I press export -> Batch List. And it gives me some CSV files with NO “media duration” column in the document. It only gives me IN and OUT metadata in the CSV file. I want “media duration” metadata in the CSV Batch List. Final Cut Pro 6 and 7 had this feature, but I don’t use FCP any more. How can I get Premiere to do this? It doesn’t seem like a wild request. Is this something that Adobe Bridge or Adobe Prelude could do? (could they export a batch list with metadata of Media Durations?) I’ve searched for the answer to this question maybe a year ago and never found an answer. PLEASE HELP!

    Adobe, please add this feature if it doesn’t exist already. If it does exist, please tell me how to get Premiere to generate a list of Media Durations for me.

    I too am looking for this functionality. FCP will create a batch list with whatever metadata columns you have selected for your bin. Premiere only creates a list of pre-defined columns that appear to be unchangeable.

    Does anyone know if this functionality has changed in the latest version of Premiere CC? It’s something I’m looking to be able to accomplish with exporting custom metadata columns to a CSV.
