  globally changing length of clips

  Posted by Steve Goldberg on September 19, 2008 at 12:09 am

  I’m surely forgetting something I haven’t had to do in a long while, but….

  I’m having to change the length of a lot of clips from 1 second to 2 seconds and length of clip isn’t one of the attributes I can paste. What’s the best way of globally changing a bunch of clips in a sequence to a new length?

  Thanks,

  Steve Goldberg

  select them all, right click the selection and choose Duration, set the duration as 2 secs

  if you have a few clips overlaid on top of each other then one technique is to select all the edit points, move the playhead so in to out is 2 sec and press E for extend edit

  useful technique for getting all clips trimmed to same length if already down on timeline
