You're looking at the Footage menu; the Layer menu doesn't have duration listed anywhere.

They both have "name", yes, but that's not relevant here!

It still seems odd that I could do

movieWidth = thisComp.layer(“source”).width;

But not 

movieLength = thisComp.layer(“source”).duration;

When both width and duration are in the same sub category of the expressions menu.

Source.duration worked great thanks.
Curious why it’s just listed as “duration” in the drop down.


I think that's a property of 'footage', not a 'layer'.
