    Find the second mark on each clip and hit 's' for split. Delete the excess and you have it.

    Or drag from either end to shorten the clip fro the start or the end.

    I'm not sure exactly what you are asking beyond that.
    Read my blog here.

    Is this going to be a repeating need?

    I could change 10 clip durations in about 4 minutes. About the time it took me to type this response.

    I'm a slow typer.

    use the trimmer on each clip -- very fast if you learn the shortcut keystrokes

    What if you're like me and have 1,545 images you'd like set to the same length, instead of a few video clips?

    Since you're working with still image animation........click on 1st image, then Shift-click on last. Right-click and choose "Group". Now go the the end and Control + Drag the clips to expand or contract the time.

    after a lot of experimenting i've discovered a way that helped me with my stop motion videos-with over 2000 shots i did NOT want to be editing each still seperately!!

    (in sony vegas platinum 9.0)

    go to options, then preferences. click the editing tab and go to new still image length (seconds) and change the length of your still images to what you would like. (i find that about 0.100 fps is good for fast movement and 0.250 is good for slower shots)
    hope this helps

    animator,
    note racer-x's post as well, if you want to change the length of multiple still photos in your timeline.
