Believe it or not… as far as I know you can only find duration in a really obscure way in Bridge.
- select the video
- get info (command i)
- select the Advanced tab in the metadata box
- under XMP Dynamic Media properties you'll see duration
- there are two values:
- scale (for example 1/2997)
- value (for example 36100)

Now the fun part. The duration of the clip is value/scale = approx 12 seconds.
you'll also see this in the XML code under the Raw Data tab.

Now, why Adobe doesn't use this data and add a row called duration with the calculations already done… well, I dunno.

Yes… pretty much unusable as is.

I haven't found Duration displayed in any of the workspaces Bridge CS6 ships with, and it's not popping up in the Preview panel either.
