Time Ruler Units and Grid Lines

The number of grid lines drawn will depend on the dominant ruler type and zoom level.
For example, when the dominant ruler is Seconds and the Timeline is zoomed out, grid
lines appear only on the hour marks. As you zoom in, grid lines are drawn on the minute
mark. Zoom in more, and grid lines are drawn on the second marks, and so on.

Setting the Project Length

By default, the length of a project depends on the media in the project. The project
length is set to the end of the last clip in the project. If the project uses a time-based
effect, and the effect extends past the end of the last clip, the project length extends to
include the effect’s “tail.” Adding a clip to the end of the project, or adding an effect
that produces a “tail,” extends the project length to include the new clip or the effect’s
tail. You can optionally set the project to a definite length.

To set the project length:

m

In the Timeline, place the playhead at the point where you want the project to end,
then choose Mark > Set End of Project.

You can move the end-of-project marker to change the length of the project, or delete
it if you decide you no longer want it in the project.

To delete the end-of-project marker:

m

Select the marker in the Timeline, then choose Edit > Delete (or press the Delete key.)
