What Is Preview Time?

Preview Time can mainly be found in video files, however, some other files such as the Audible AAX file can show Preview Time as well. If you want to know what it means, read more.

The Preview Time is usually found in video files such as MP4, MOV, AVI, and the like. It gives information about how many seconds of a video preview is available within the file. An audio preview is not typically given.

It is rare to find such a preview in common video files since it’s a rather advanced setting. Hence why in most cases, the Preview Time is set to 0 seconds (0 s).

Sometimes, AAX files, which are audiobook files from Audible, can contain a Preview Time as well.
