Accessing metadata of local video file using getVideoMetadata

[CodyBontecou]

Can getVideoMetadata take a local .mp4 file and output the video's duration? I can't get it to accept a local .mp4 relative path as the src string.

I got it working. Found this example: https://www.remotion.dev/docs/get-video-metadata#example, where it shows the explicit import occurs at the top rather than as a src param.

Thanks for self-closing the issue! We recommend putting the video into the public/ folder now and importing it via staticFile().
I have updated the docs now to reflect this! That being said, the other solution also works.

Oo gotcha. Thank you for the info.
