Video upload is missing metadata (video duration) when using `f_auto`

Vinh

Hi everyone, after upload and use preload="metadata" I find that video duration isn't load properly

Is there anyway I can get metadata (video duration) for video transformation using f_auto from Cloudinary?

Hi Vinh,

Thanks for reaching out. We recommend using Eager async to make sure that the derived asset is completely generated before getting the metadata.

Also, running just f_auto will not change the video duration from the original asset, unless you're also applying other transformations.
