# frameCount

> The length of the video clip in frames. (Read Only).

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Video](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/video.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.VideoModule

```csharp
public ulong frameCount { get; }
```

### Remarks

It’s useful to know the length of a video in frames to ensure any effects you play on a video play within the time frame of the video. [VideoClip](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/video/videoclip.md) extracts the frame count from the metadata of the file.

**Note**: The length VideoClip returns can be inaccurate as the external encoder can be imprecise. Use [VideoPlayer.frameCount](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/video/videoplayer/framecount.md) to get a more accurate value. However, [VideoPlayer.frameCount](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/video/videoplayer/framecount.md) becomes more precise after one playthrough, so won’t be completely accurate until after the clip finishes once.

Additional Resources: [VideoPlayer.frameRate](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/video/videoplayer/framerate.md), [VideoPlayer.frameCount](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/video/videoplayer/framecount.md).

### Examples

```csharp
// This script uses both the <see cref="UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer"></see> and <see cref="UnityEngine.Video.VideoClip"></see> components' frame count and frame rate
// to calculate the length of the video in seconds. Sometimes this can return different results, 
// but the VideoPlayer is more accurate, especially after a full playthrough.
// The script recalculates the counts on each loop.
