Media Length Condition

With the help of the Media Length Condition it is possible to use the length of a video file as a condition for further actions. Helmut 4 uses Media Info for this, which is automatically installed when the client is installed. It is possible to define the length in seconds in the form of an integer. A possible workflow would be, for example, for each file that exceeds a defined length, to outsource the associated copying or rendering process to a separate machine.

The Media Length Condition can theoretically be queried in every stream, as it is not linked to the project object or the user object, but it mostly makes sense if there is a job object in the stream. The job object is available if it is a HelmutIO stream.

Mediainfo binary path

The path to the mediainfo binary can be customized if the binary is located in a different directory or if a different version is desired.
