Very weird decision if this was intentional. Why not just show both? There's plenty of room to include duration next to the label dot even in the furthest zoomed out view. At the very least it should be an option to choose label or duration.
Very glad to have found this. When I have a folder of clips that have been split by the camera (i.e. 4gb file limit), I can easily use the clip duration to see where I stopped/restarted recording and merge the clips accordingly. Would definitely appreciate a fix to this 🙂
@Joel B—No, they don’t. It’s been a serious issue for years now and why JKL timeline playback on mulitcam sequences still does not function properly, which is, you know, a basic NLE editing workflow.
Please change label back to media duration! My entire work-flow has been ruined. I need to SEE the duration of the clip in icon view or else I can't do my job. This is frustrating!
I work wedding, I use icon view to cull montage clips, but I have to separate them from real time clips which I can identify because they are significantly longer.
I can't see which clips are long anymore I have to clip properties for all them. Is there a work around? Surely this was taken away bc there a redundancy and there's another way to do this...
Easiest workaround will be to create a new sequence, highlight all your clips, drag them into the new sequence timeline. you’ll be able to see the long clips relatively easier.
@elvis @Kyle, I work for a local news station. I need to be able to see the length of the clips to know which ones are the interviews and which ones are overlay. The length matters for those too. At the moment I do all the pre-work on an older PC which hasn't been updatet yet, transfer to an updated pc when done and finish editing there. Putting things on the timeline first is something I just can't work with. Switching PC's is the best workaround I could think of. I can't believe they took one of the most important icon functions away without an alternative. I hope it'll become an option again soon.
Give us back the duration of clips ASAP! Seriously ruining workflow to the point where I'm sure myself and a lot of others are considering just switching platforms. Terrible update... Just ask people who actually edit videos before launching something this bad. At the very least add a toggle function.
