I'd like to see video length in Bridge metadata. Windows Explorer shows this. Why can't Bridge? All those metadata fields, and not one for clip length? To me that is an important datum when searching and sorting video clips. Windows also shows frame rate and dimensions right up front.
Left: Bridge
Right: Windows Explorer, same file

It is utterly supid length is not in bridge. Does anybody at Adobe actually edit? Lenghth in bridge would mean assets could remain outside the project meaning it would load faster. The project would be smaller any therefore run easier. HELLO ADOBE????

Chiming in too! Why the heck isn't this piece of data easily shown!? This seems so basic. Too bad. Hopefully someone will get going on this.

This functionality is available via scripting, read through the thread for a link to my dropbox which has a video info script.

That's silly, pay good money for software and I have to go in and add scripting?

That's not uncommon with software used by professionals. Excel has a whole cottage industry around software add-ins.

i was looking for this too, and thought it can't be true that this post is already from 2019. but indeed. there is simply no way to see video length in adobe bridge? EVERYTHING in terms of metadata can be seen, except the length of a video? is this really true? and why, adobe?

The only reasons I can think of are, a) If bridge looks simply at the number of frames in a clip, without knowing the frames per second, then it doesn't know the duration. 300 frames at 30fps is 10 seconds, but the same clip interpreted at 60fps is 5 seconds. So how does windows explorer of all things know...? Idk 😕 Or, b), They don't have a video professional (or a hobbyist, or even a child) working on the Bridge app who cares, or has even ever used the software and who only needs a single blindingly obvious piece of information: "I wonder how long this clip is?"
