fileDuration value as float number

Question

Hi,

I need to use fileDuration in an expression to calculate the ratio between two audio files. Apparently fileDuration can only be used in a frequency parameter field.

Any tricks?

Answer 1

If you use the ratio of the two fileDurations, the units of seconds will cancel out. For example:

'count.aif' fileDuration / 'alien threat.aif' fileDuration

Also you can use any code in any field and remove the unit, for example: 'count.aif' fileDuration removeUnits
