Multitrack Duration: How do you change it?

[Dreamcube017]

I've just started using Audition and I've got a video that's 2:30 in length. Now I created a Multitrack Session and when I put in the video, I noticed that the scroll bar at the top was SUPER tiny. This is also when I realized that the length of the session was over 10 minutes long. I've looked all over Audition and searched the forums and the help, but can't see how to make it smaller. Yes, I know I can zoom in and I know I can just export the selected, but I have to scrub through the audio a lot and with a scroll bar being a quarter of a millimeter, this makes working in small sections of the video extremely irritating.  is it really that hard or complicated to be able to change the duration? I see that it's 13 minutes in the bottom right of the program.

I disabled the "use embedded timecode…" option, and the audio file came in as expected. I normally sync with Plural Eyes, and don't work with timecode, so this seems to be the fix I need. Thanks!

THIS IS THE ANSWER I HAVE BEEN LOOKIING FOR!!!  SO SIMPLE! But it STILL is NOT designated as the CORRECT answer on this thread. WHY????

I found a way to do it!

When in the Multitrack view, go to File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session

When it's exported, it should appear in your Track view as whatever you've titled it. Go into Waveform view on the track and click Time Selection Tool, then highlight the time you want to get rid of, then simply tap DELETE. Then Export the waveform file as whatever file type you had it as before.

Too complicated. Try just selecting the time range you want to export on the screen and use File>Export>Multitrack Mixdown>Time Selection. Then you won't have to trim anything at all!

I know its not the accepted method but when I need to get this sorted out quickly I change the timeline to samples and make note of the value that seems most suitable and then I edit the sesx file (while it isn't open in Au) and in the first few lines is the current session length - just replace with the new value and save and exit.

Obviously make a backup  first.

What the ***? It is so simple that is not obvious

1. Import the mp3 file.

2. Drag-drop it from Files to the multitrack. (Even here you can try to drop it righter)

3. Now grab Audiowave and drag to the right. Time of multitrack increases.

To further increase drag further to the right. Watch the scale of timeline.

"Bug! Bug!", haha
