Total duration of clips in a bin

[John Fishback]

This is a guess. Select the bin, then Export Batch List. Import that into Excel then sum the duration column. You may have to find a routine that adds time properly if that’s not already an option in Excel.

Thank you, John – superb thinking. I found of course I had to delete the frame numbers from the end of each value and also and ‘format > cells’ as ‘time’ but that only took a few moments. Thanks!

Simply select the clips or bin you want to measure and choose File > Media Manager … roll you cursor over the dark green “Original” bar and it will turn bright green and show you how much disc space the selected media uses plus the total duration.

Hope it helps

Brilliant, that is a great deal simpler! Many thanks.

Nevermind…my suggestions was moronic and full of holes.

Andy, you’re a font of wisdom. Thanks.

You can even select all clips and drag them to an empty sequence. The length of the seq is the total length of all clips. Be sure to remove any in and out marks in each clips. You can even do that in the browser by right-click on the in TC (in the In column) and selecting Clear in. So also for remove out.

Hahaaaa … a fellow cat skinner eh? … right then, well you can also Select All (or just the bin) and then choose Batch Capture and that’ll show you the Total Disk Space and Total Media Time too 😉
