When you add an image to the timeline, the default duration is set to four seconds. You can easily edit the duration of your image to become shorter or longer using these two options below.
Option 1. Drag the asset handles left and right
To increase or decrease the duration of your image, you can use the trim handles.
-
Click on the image asset in the timeline so it's highlighted.
-
Drag the asset's trim handles to adjust the length - right to increase, or left to decrease.
-
Use the timestamp at the top of the timeline as a duration guide.
-
For more precise adjustments, click the zoom in button on the timeline to increase the scale of your timestamps.
Option 2. Trim the length of your image using the split tool
To decrease the duration of your image, you can also use the split tool.
-
Using the timestamp at the top of the timeline as a reference, drag the seeker to the exact duration you'd like your image to be.
-
Right-click the image asset on the timeline so it's highlighted, then click the split button. Your image will now be split into two clips on the timeline.
-
Select the split image asset you no longer need.
-
Click the backspace button or delete button on your keyboard to remove it. Your image will now be shorter on the timeline.
