Bulk Rename Utility

I need to bulk rename video files and need to put the duration of each video into the file name, but I have no idea how to do this.

Can anyone give me an idea of an expression I can use to add it to my file name, please?

I don't see where it does that?
Does it?

Date, time, EXIF, ID3 tags, but not seeing video?

Suppose you could create a batch file & send the video files to ffprobe, filtering its results, sending that filtered data to a text file, generating a "Rename-pair" that you'd import into BRU (but that would seem to be a somewhat convoluted process)?

Thanks for responding. Yeah, that will take forever and I need to do this fast and repeat the process weekly. But I did have someone program a small script for me that just adds the duration to the end of the filename. Very quick and much less painful.

Can you share this script or is it ah ranks thing?

You could do it - but would need to use Javascript Renaming (which requires you to purchase a commercial license). Do a search in the help file for System.Media.Duration

First to verify the checkmark for "Renaming Options, ID3/Exif/FileProperties, Extract Windows File Properties".
For spaces on both sides, Add(7) would use < (System.Media.Duration) > to add the duration like " 00-12-30 ".

If needing to insert the duration as some special format, then Add(7) should use <($System.Media.Duration)>.
Then AutoDate(8) should have Mode=None, Fmt==Custom, and a Custom like ' %Hh-%Mm-%Ss ' or ' %Mm-%Ss '
Those two would insert the durations more like..................................... ' 00h-12m-30s ' or ' 12m-30s '.
