How do I get rid of extra space at the end of my timeline?
I am a newbie to Premiere Pro CS5. I have been editing with Avid for a number of years.
I decided to dive right in and learn while editing an actual project. I put an entire interview on the timeline to chop it up into sound bites I want using the various tools. That’s been good practice.
The original clip was about 11:00. It’s now down to about 6:30. The timeline has empty space at the end up to about 15:00 and when I zoom in, it’ll go up to about 16:50. I don’t understand. How do I get rid of the wasted, awkward space? I’ve tried to see if there’s a bit of video or audio at the end, but I can’t find anything. I’ve searched online for a solution, but I haven’t found one, yet.
Can anyone help me? Please?

Are you using the keyboard or the mouse to zoom?
The \ key will zoom to fit the screen (I don’t use the slider at all)

I was using the mouse. I prefer to use the keyboard as much as possible. I found the – and = keys for zooming in and out. When I use the \ key, my 6:30 timeline goes to about 8:20, still nearly 2:00 extra. Is there something else I’m doing wrong?
Thank you for your help.
