Double click on the event to create a loop region, then look down in the bottom right hand corner of the Vegas window - you will see the start point, end point, and the difference between them, i.e. the duration.

I think you can also see the duration under Right-Click/Properties on the event.

I use the double-click method stated here though all the time though. Works great.

Simply clicking on the clip in the explorer window will show various properties in the status bar at the bottom of the window. The clip length is included in this display.

I have a script that gets or sets the length of the selected clip(s).

Let me know if you want a copy.

Peter,

Thanks that shows me what I need to know. I wish there was a separate display on the status bar that just showed the actual clip length, but this works.

Kent,

I couldn't find the length of the clip under properties.

Chienworks,

I may have the terminology wrong. I wasn't looking for the length of the entire placed file, but the individual clip.

Am I calling things by the wrong name? When I place a 15 minute mpg on the timeline, then split and cut it down to only 4 or 5 ten seconds, aren't those pieces called "Clips"? Or is the original file called the clip?

Thanks,

Kirk

Technically, in Vegas parlance, a "clip" is an entire file on the hard drive, a "subclip" is a portion of a file demarcated in the trimmer and entered into the media pool, and a piece on the timeline is an "event".
