The timeline’s duration either auto-tracks the longest layer (a green “auto” badge) or is locked to a fixed length; the FPS preset sets the frame grid for stepping and quantization.
Where: Studio timeline → header — Open the timeline header
Key ideas
- Auto vs locked: Auto grows the timeline to the longest layer; lock it to a fixed number of seconds when you want a set length.
- FPS: Pick 24 / 25 / 30 / 50 / 60 — it drives frame stepping (PageUp/Down) and keyframe quantization.
Steps
- Open the timeline header.
- Leave duration on Auto, or lock it to a fixed length.
- Set the FPS preset to match your target output.
