2.9 Timeline Duration
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.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

- 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.)
