getAudioDurationInSeconds()

Deprecated

This function has been deprecated. Use parseMedia() instead, which is faster and supports more formats.

Part of the @remotion/media-utils package of helper functions.

Previously called getAudioDuration().

Gets the duration in seconds of an audio source. Remotion will create an invisible <audio> tag, load the audio and return the duration.

Arguments

Return value

Promise<number> - the duration of the audio file.

tsx
