Hello everyone,

I have an animation on Marquee that has 5 sec. of duration, so is my timeline.

Now see, I want to extend  my timeline to 10 sec. without extend my animation duration, but when I go at File> Duration... it extend my animation to 10 sec.

Anyone knows how to help me out?

Thanks for your attention.

I usually save the last frame of the animation as a separate title and cut it into the timeline at the end of the animation to the duration I want

In Marquee:

Go to 'Marquee' in the file menu

select preferences

sselect 'current title'

change animation duration

When you save it and import it into Avid, it will import as a 5 second clip.

Use your yellow trim roller bar to extend it to the length you intended it to be in Marquee.

Simple. Why didn't anyone answer this before. Sometimes this forum is so lame!

Basic questions like this continue to show up in Google queries, yet now simple answers.

Which, if you try it out, extends the entire animation out and moves the keyframes so that they maintain their relative positions. In other words, if your timeline was originally 5 seconds long and you have a keyframe at the 2 second mark, changing the timeline to 10 seconds moves the keyframe to the 4 second mark.

Which is not what the user wanted. He wants to extend the animation without moving the keyframes.

Only static (non-animated titles) are always import as 5 second clips. Animated titles are rendered out as a TIFF clip at the length of the duration (as set in preferences->current title->animation duration). And you can't extend the length of a clip past the end of the clip.

The method mentioned by Andrew is the easiest way to extend the clip. The other way is to set the animation duration before you set your keyframes so that the animation ends where you want it and then stays static for the remainder.
