Note
You’re shortening each clip to the same length here, but you can have clips of
varying lengths, depending on what’s appropriate for the project.
2. Drag the right edge of the first clip (1_Family) to 03:00 on the time ruler. Photoshop
displays the end point and the duration as you drag so that you can find the right stopping
point.
3. Drag the right edge of the second clip (2_BoatRide) to a duration of 03:00.
Shortening a video clip this way doesn’t change its speed; it removes part of the clip from the
video. In this case, you want to use the first three seconds of each clip. If you wanted to use a
different portion of a video clip, you would shorten the clip from each end. As you drag the end
point of a video clip, Photoshop displays a preview so you can see which part of the clip is
included.
4. Repeat step 3 for each of the remaining clips so that each has a duration of 3 seconds.
Tip
To quickly change the duration of a video clip, click the arrow in the upper right corner,
and then type a new Duration value. This option isn’t available for still images.
The clips are now the right duration, but some of the images are the wrong size for the canvas.
You’ll resize the first image before continuing.
5. Select the 1_Family layer in the Layers panel. The clip is also selected in the Timeline
