Hello,

is there any way to set the duration of an event via an dialog?
I need exact values multiple times and using the cursor is a nightmare.


Many thanks and greetings

Hi

There are a couple of different techniques you can use.
If you have added Generated Media like Text, you can manually type in the exact length of event.



Please note that if you change the length of any Generated Media, it does not self adjust on the Timeline.
If you add 10 seconds of Text and then set it to 5 seconds, a "notch" will then appear which signifies the new 5 second end point.
Simply drag the clip until it snaps to notch.



Creating a Loop Region is another technique you can use.
Drag out a Loop Region.
Then go to bottom right corner.
Double-click Loop Region output and type in exact length of time you want - Loop Region will self adjust.
*You can also adjust other values in same region.





Regards
Derek.
