Controlling still image duration

  • March 26, 2019

Does anyone know if there is a way to manual enter clip durations. I am testing a still frame animation and I want to be able to input the duration of still images I import rather than just clicking and dragging. I find clicking and dragging each import image extremely tedious and inconsistent. Is there is a way to set a duration preference before importing still image or a way to select all and then input the actual number of seconds?

Thanks!

      Hi MWright!

      There isn't currently a way to adjust the duration upon import, but you can leave a feature request here! I'm sure it is not just you who would find this helpful.https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/916423-premiere-rush

      However, you can do this in Premiere Pro! Let me know if you have access to that app and I can help you out there.

            Caroline, kind of you to reply - with all due respect, it's insane that this isn't a basic, built-in feature instead of an aspirational one. I swear, it seems the only input on what should and shouldn't be a feature in Adobe products is from the developers. I would think EVERYONE would want to be able to adjust the duration of still images. Like anyone making an historical documentary, ever.

              Couldn't agree more; duplicating the still clip until you reach the desired length is, well, rather amateurish.

                It's a good feature  request for sure. Just as you can edit the duration of transitions it would be useful to be able to adjust the duration numerically. There are a number of requests for this already with about 75 votes combined. Would love to see this feature added.
