The duration of a clip is the length of time it takes to play from the In point to the Out point. You can set a duration for video or audio clips, letting
them speed up or slow down to fill the duration. You can do the same for still-image clips, but without the changes in speed.

You can change the speed and duration for one or more clips at a time.

You can also set clip speed to fill a duration by performing a four-point edit.

or duration of all the clips in a bin in the Project panel and its nested bins, select the bin. The change does not affect non-media clips, such

To keep the clips following the changing clips adjacent to them, click Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips. (This option is available only
