What is change duration in ScreenFlow?
Change duration in ScreenFlow refers to the ability to adjust the length of time a specific element or clip is displayed or played in the video editing timeline. This feature is particularly useful when you want to speed up or slow down a certain part of your video, or when you want to extend or shorten the display time of a static image, text, or other elements in your project.
To change the duration of a clip in ScreenFlow, you simply select the clip in the timeline, then adjust its start and end points by dragging the edges of the clip. You can also right-click on the clip and select "Change Clip Duration" to manually input the desired length. This feature gives you precise control over the pacing and timing of your video content.

To change the duration of a clip in ScreenFlow, you first need to select the clip you want to modify. This can be done by clicking on the clip in the timeline. Once the clip is selected, you can adjust the duration by dragging the edges of the clip in the timeline. Dragging the edge to the right will extend the duration of the clip, while dragging it to the left will shorten it.
If you want to be more precise with the duration, you can use the clip inspector. With the clip selected, click on the "i" button or go to the "Window" menu and select "Show Clip Inspector". In the clip inspector, you can manually enter the desired duration of the clip. After you've made your changes, close the clip inspector and your changes will be saved.

If you shorten a clip, it may leave a gap in your timeline. You'll need to adjust the rest of your clips accordingly to maintain the flow of your project.
