Storyline Course Duration

I need to know the exact duration of a course built in Storyline.  I can find the approximate duration; however, the exact duration is what I need. Any ideas? Thank you, Blake

You can have a look in the meta.xml file in the storyline output folder. You can read an evalutation of the total duration of the course.

-<project title="video marker 3" totalvideo="8767" totalaudio="0" duration="About 34 seconds" enabledownload="true" mobiledata="mobile/data.gz" html5data="mobile/data.js" flashdata="story_content/data.swf" version="1.0.0.0" datepublished="2015-03-19T22:27:30" thumburl="story_content/thumbnail.jpg" courseid="6UMVy1bPbUW_course_id" id="5YO8omVNEXY">

 This example comes from an LMS publish.

    Thanks for pointing this out! I played back a course that as estimated at "About 39 minutes" (in the meta.xml file) with a stopwatch and I timed it at 39:30 seconds, so my bet is that it rounds down once you get to minutes in length maybe. It was close enough for my needs at least. 

    Also, this post shows how to find that number within Storyline... (Publish > Title > ... )
