im sure i used to be able to select multiple clips in the timeline, and by dragging the end of one of them, they will all resize ,  but in v 2018 it seems to only resize one file.

when i click, alt, shift or other keys it doesnt seem to do it either.

    Correct answer Ann Bens

    here is what is happening when i do this.

    originally i wasnt sure what it was doing , because there was one seemingly long clip at the end,  but then i realised, that it is making all of the clips long and seems to be overlapping them.


    This definitely a bug. I can reproduce this on 2018.

    In 2017 it works as it should.

    Another way to change the duration to a bunch of images is to: 

    • In the timeline
    • select all the desired clips
    • right-click on the clips and get the menu open
    • click on speed/duration
    • check the box "Ripple edit, Shifting Trailing Clips"
    • change duration to desired length. 
    • click "ok"

    You need to select edit points, not clips.

    As an aside, that will change the clip's duration, not their size, which here refers to their resolution.

    well these are photos,  so in and out points would not be relevant in this case.

    what i need to do is change their duration to match the beat of the background music.  resize may be the wrong choice of word here.

    i need to adjust multiple clips in the timeline, to match the tempo of the music in the timeline. i need to do it in bulk so that the clips are all the same size as each other.

    if i understand you correct, the edit points you are referring to, are done in the source monitor individually in which case, i dont have the music there as a reference for starters.

    maybe im missing something.....


    if i understand you correct

    You do not.  In the Source Monitor, you set In and Out points.  In the timeline, the ends of clips are called edit points.
