Hi. I've tested free version of MediaInfo and it looks like i can't see the total duration time of multiple clips in MediaInfo app, can I?
When i load the folder with clips it shows only the first clip, then i must choose the second clip in roll-out button (or how it calls), but i can't see the list of clips with total playtime.
Tell me, please, is the same thing in full version? I was hoping this app can shows the total duration of all clips in folder.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks for clarification that. Tell me please, what is "sponsored features" and can I as a user go for it or it's expensive?
I'm not a software developer but as i see the "feature_of_my_wish" is so simple that it takes only half page of coding if not less. I think it could be done even in AppleScript or Automator, because the Finder already knows the duration of each clip!

People wanting the feature pay a developer to implement it.
Price depends of the wanted priority compared to the priority of other people, if you are not a professional the price may be considered as very expensive.

The problem is not to implement the feature, the problem is to have it maintainable in a long term view, in parallel with all other requests.

This is the reason most people implement their own method:
- It is not difficult (it is Open-Source, there is a DLL interface)
- It is easier to implement one specific request for 1 person specifically rather than taking in consideration the impact on hundreds of thousands users.
In your case, it may be a lot less expensive to develop (or pay a developer) a specific program, not in the official version, doing what you want to do.

No
Yes. "Full version" is not a lot different, it is more a "thank you" than a different software with tons of other features.
It is on the ToDo-list, but not currently a priority for the main developer (sponsored features have priority).
