Child elements | None |
Remarks
This element defines the length of time that a clip plays in preview mode. If this element appears within an ENTRY element or a REF element, it applies to the clip defined by that element. If it appears within the scope of an ASX element, it applies to every clip in the metafile. A PREVIEWDURATION element in a REF element takes precedence over one in an ENTRY element, and either takes precedence over a PREVIEWDURATION element in an ASX element. If no PREVIEWDURATION element is defined for a clip, the default preview time is 10 seconds.
If there is a STARTTIME or STARTMARKER element for the clip, Windows Media Player renders the clip starting at the point defined by one of these elements; otherwise it renders from the beginning of the clip. The clip stops normally if it is shorter than the time defined by the PREVIEWDURATION element.
The DURATION element overrides a PREVIEWDURATION element.
Example Code
<PREVIEWDURATION VALUE="0:30.0" />
Requirements
Windows Media Player version 7.0 or later.
