Educational playlist duration for syllabi and study arcs
Course designers rarely publish neat module lengths in one place—especially when playlists mix trailers, assignments, and optional deep dives. Totaling duration helps you honest about weekly load, prerequisite time, and how optional clips stack against required viewing.
Pair range filters with playback-speed estimates so you can quote both catalog length and realistic session time for students who watch faster than 1×.

Frequently asked questions
Answers focused on this tool. The homepage has a broader FAQ for the whole site.
- Why use the dedicated playlist page instead of only the home calculator?
- Same calculator and API—this page is a focused URL you can bookmark or share. Totals, ranges, playback-speed estimates, and exports work identically.
- Can I use a watch URL instead of a playlist link?
- Yes, if the URL includes list= with a public playlist ID. The server resolves playlist items through the YouTube Data API the same way as a playlist?list= link.
- What if some videos are missing from the total?
- Unavailable, private, or region-blocked videos may be omitted from API responses. Your From/To range also limits which slots are summed.
- Do exports include every column shown in the table?
- JSON is the fullest export; CSV and summary text focus on titles, indices, and durations. Pick the format that fits your spreadsheet or notes workflow.
- Why does my summary end with a TorqStudio line?
- Text exports append a short attribution so shared totals stay traceable to this calculator—remove it only if your workflow forbids third-party footers.
- Can I compare two playlists side by side?
- Run each playlist separately and export JSON or CSV. There is no merged diff view yet—use spreadsheets or scripts for head-to-head comparisons.
