# Get Media Length

## Overview

![The Get Media Length Node when Object and Seconds are selected in the Attributes.](/files/A09XhFiRPXyu6CjsTfUM)

The **Get Media Length Node** returns the duration of a **Media Object** or **Asset** either in `Seconds` (**Video** & **Audio**) or in `Frames` (**Video** only). The **Node's** input and output change depending on what is selected in its **Attributes**.

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/2024.1/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

## Attributes

![The Get Media Length Node Attributes.](/files/Nvl4VNJn9sIGN4NOkFPk)

| Attribute    | Type         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| ------------ | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Input Type` | **Dropdown** | Gives the options for the **Node's** input type. It can be either `Object` or `Asset`. Selecting `Object` will lead to an `Object ID` input. Selecting `Asset` will lead to a `Media ID` input. |
| `Format`     | **Dropdown** | Gives the options for the **Node's** output type. It can be either `Seconds` or `Frames`.                                                                                                       |
