chane the clip duration for all pictures but not movie clips

Hello

I'm trying to understand how to set clip durations.

1. problem:
If I select in the edit tab some pictures and change the clip duration to 5 seconds , after that for some pictures the clip duration is different. For the most pictures the duration is OK, but some are shorter ( 3 seconds) .I do not why and what I did wrong. I guess it's because the pictures are between movies. I thought the timeline automatically adjusts the whole thing and all clips that are behind a clip whose duration is changed are automatically moved in the timeline. But that is probably not the case. The question then remains as to what you should do in such a case.

2. In my timeline I have a a lot of pictures and some movie clips. Is there any way to select just the pictures to change the clip duration. selecting all pictures manually would take to long time.

Hello

I'm trying to understand how to set clip durations.

I think you need to be in Trim Edit Mode - T for clip duration dialog to not only change clip duration but ripple edit all of them.

Press T for Trim Edit Mode, select all the clips you want, and CTRL + D for change duration dialog box and change duration.

If you have mixed timeline with photos and video clips and you want to select only photos to change duration you would do that same, but of course you need a way to automatically select only the photos. Ideally you would do media organization in media pool before timeline assembly, but if not, you can do it after the fact as well.

There should be a way to do it with edit index panel, but if that doesn't work , you can also create custom filter in the color tab to filter out only certain types of clips with more precision. Than you can for example add color flags to them and back in the edit page you can select all the clips with a particular flag color and change duration. If there is a better way, I'm sure it will be shared by someone here.

What I would do is go to color page, click on clip filters. make a new clip filter for what I need. its like smart bins except they are called smart filters. This is also useful for export of some clips only since smart filters also work on deliver page.

Lets say you add clip color: yellow to all photos. Just as an example.

Than on the edit page you can go to timeline menu and select all clips based on flag color or whatever you set and in trim mode do you clip duration operation for all clips you need.

Like I said, there is usually more than one way to do something in resolve, so maybe there is a faster way that someone else will share. But if not, this one will work.

OK, thanks. I did not know, that I have to use the trim mode. I will try it.
