YOu can get using this method in swift

func getMediaDuration(url: NSURL!) -> Float64{
        var asset : AVURLAsset = AVURLAsset.assetWithURL(url) as AVURLAsset
        var duration : CMTime = asset.duration

        return CMTimeGetSeconds(duration)
    }

To get total duration of movie you can use :

1). Use AVPlayerItem class and AVFoundation and CoreMedia framework. (I have used UIImagePickerController for picking the movie)

#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVAsset.h>

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
    selectedVideoUrl = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];

    AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:selectedVideoUrl];

    CMTime duration = playerItem.duration;
    float seconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(duration);
    NSLog(@"duration: %.2f", seconds);
}

2). MPMoviePlayerController has a property duration .Refer Apple Doc

If you don't want to get the total time from MPMoviePlayerViewController's duration property (because that brings up the movie player UI), you could instead create an AVAsset object with your video file passed in via a file URL and then check the duration property on that.

This trick would only work on iOS 5 (which is where AVAsset's assetWithURL: came in with).
