Hello

would like to determine the total length of a clip consisting OF several and overlapping video and audio segments (if possible in seconds).

Holding ALT(Option) on the keyboard and clicking on the segment does only show the duration/length of the selected clip.

1. 

Is there a better approach?

1. 

How can frames be convered into seconds?

Thank you!

Joe

In a timeline, the fastest way is to mark and In and and Out and use the “Dur” field to find the duration. Control + Alt + T changes between frames and seconds in all fields regarding duration.

You can select multiple clips on the time line then use the hotkey ’ for flame, or Shift / for smoke and it will mark an in and out around the selection.
