Re: [Avid-L2] sum of clip times in bin/project

Note, the last time I used that it will not calculate over 24 hours and rolls back to 00:. So while you may have 50 hours of material it will display as 02:xx:xx:xx. The footage rolls over at 100000. So you do a few chunks of clips to get the proper count.

So, I'm interested in knowing how much footage I have in a project I'm working on.

Of course, I have subclips and audio files that are in addition to the video files (dual system sound)

I went to the Media Tool and created a master clip list of JUST the video master clips.

Is there a way to sum the DURATION?

I tried exporting that as a TAB DELIMITED file and taking it to Excel.

But then you've got a column for FRAMES that Excel doesn't know how to convert to 24 fps/seconds.

Is there a Console command I can run on a bin or a some other way to come up with a footage number?

You used to be able to do a get info on a bin and it would sum up the time.
