Media source duration

We have created a ‘Media source duration’ field that contains the length of the video in seconds calculated from the file once the file is uploaded. Media source duration offers essential information about the file. For example, comparing the scheduled presentation duration to the actual media source duration of a pre-recorded video presentation will tell us if a speaker abided by the scheduled time given for the presentation.

For example, comparing the scheduled presentation duration to the actual media source duration of a pre-recorded video presentation will tell us if a speaker abided by the scheduled time given for the presentation. At the moment, this is called ‘MP4 duration.’ An administrator can select or deselect the ‘MP4 Duration’ field from the gear in both Presentation details and Presentation media items. The media source duration (represented in seconds, for use Excel calculations) is also available in the Report Builder -> Presentation data set (shown below).
