Thankyou for the explanation. Arthur

Hi there, I tried that gif - yes it does work in v7.30. You've been extremely helpful. I thought I was going mad yesterday as I had almost completed the project - got the upgrade msg - then it wouldnt work anymore. Tried lots of things & read the community forum but couldnt find anything. You seemed to find the answer very quickly whereas I was lost for an answer. I can now complete the project. Thanks borate & NCH. Well done!

Hello again, I don't want to take up anymore of your time as I have a way forward with jpegs for slides. But, I thought I would share with you some further info. Below is a shareable link. In it, contains 1 gif, a v6.22 project & a v7.3 project. I also have a PDF with screen shots. When I drop the gif into v6.22 it takes on the default duration of 5 seconds as set in tools/options/media and I can shrink or stretch it by the various means of doing this - most commonly grabbing the right handle of the gif in the timeline view. When I drop the same gif into v7.3, it has a duration of 100 milliseconds & I can only shrink it - I cannot stretch it more than 100 milliseconds. As you mentioned it maybe something odd with my gif. I created this new one in the file below today via powerpoint then saving as gif. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18G49TfQUA7e1qW4lqyYLeayZ4V-oM8-6?usp=sharing Thankyou

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Just tried your suggestion and yes - v7.3 works with jpegs. I would not have thought to try that. I did try v6.22 again just now and gifs definitely work in v6.22 but not in v7.3. Photos are always jpegs so I guess no big deal when I do a slide, to use it as a jpeg. Thanks again - Arthur

Many thanks ... First videao starts around 8 seconds. The image at 0 seconds it supposed to stretch to 8 seconds so there is no gap between image & vid. All the images have shrunk to 100 milliseconds. They used to be around 5 seconds or so. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CGR_JXYBlwq2132YbaxObQ8V0Cjc5lKO?usp=sharing

Actual error msg "end time must be after the start time and before the end of the clip"

Thanks borate. I tried all those things without success. I get an error msg "end time must be before end of clip". I rolled back to previous version - v6.22 and all is good again - I can edit duration as normal. Hmm. Then I updated again to v7.3 & got same problem again of not being able to update duration no matter which method I try. I'm doing something pretty stupid that I just can't work out - or v7.3 bug?

Hi, All was good with my sequence. I had images & videos. I could grab the right border of an image & stretch its duration. Then VideoPad crashed when I was adding some audio. When I started it again it wanted to update to v7.3. (Sorry - I can't remember what version I was on before - but I had started several times over the last 2 days & never got this message before - I would have assumed I was already on the latest version). Since then, all my images have gone to duration of 0:00:00:100 & I can no longer grab the right handle of an image & change its duration. I also cannot do this via right click & selecting properties as its all read-only. Thanks for the help.
