The Timeline’s duration is determined by the Sequence’s duration. By default, a Sequence has a duration of 2 hours. Every newly created Sequence will have this duration if the default value isn’t changed.

2.9.1 Change the Default Value for Sequence Duration

  1. Open the Settings module by pressing [Alt+S] or by selecting {System > Settings}.

  2. Click on the [General] tab.

  3. Select [Timeline] in the list

  4. Click on the Sequence time input box located underneath the Timeline window section to edit its default value.

  5. Enter the new default values for Sequence duration using the keyboard. Values are expressed as follows: hours:minutes:seconds:frames

2.9.2 Change the Duration of a Sequence

  1. [Right-click] on the Sequence tab to open a contextual menu.

  2. Select {Properties} from the menu; a Sequence Properties window will open.

  1. Click on the Duration time slider to edit its default value.

  2. Enter the new default values for Sequence duration using the keyboard. Values are expressed as follows: hours:minutes:seconds:frames

  3. Click on the [OK] button. The Timeline will be extended or reduced to match the Sequence’s duration.

  4. A dialog box will open to tell you if some Clips are out of range now that the Sequence duration has been altered. This is non-destructive; if the Timeline’s duration is returned to its original format the Clips will be reintegrated.

30 hours is the maximum duration for a Sequence because this is the maximum value for Timecode data. 1 second and 1 frame (00:00:01:01) is the minimum duration for a Sequence. (This is arbitrary.)
