    Posted by Matt Sepeta on April 16, 2009 at 3:10 pm

    Sometimes when I am importing Tiffs or PSDS to the timeline, or even Mattes for that matter, it wont let me stretch the clip beyond a certain point, sometimes far too short for what I need, making me copy and paste the thing behind itself a bunch…

    Anything I could be doing wrong?

    Thanks guys

    Good Day

    Change the Still/Freeze duration from the default, which is 10:00 seconds to a higher number. Afterward all imported stills will be of the new duration.

    Assuming this is not a multilayer file that imports as a sequence, open the graphic in the viewer and change the duration to some large number like 12 hours if you want. You can also change the duration in the browser. Change these before you edit into the timeline, otherwise the duration is limited to the default two minutes or whatever it is.

    All the best,

    Tom
