for all timeline elements.

you can find to the left side the following elements:

If available and not dimmed, they can be used together with this time-
line element. In detail they perform the following:
Depending on the type of element selected from the timeline
not all items may be available. If they are dimmed, they cannot
be used in conjunction with this timeline element.
With the Dur field you can change the length of
the selected timeline element frame accurately.
Simply type in the desired length (duration) of the
timeline element and confirm your entry with the
[Enter] key. After this the outpoint of the selected
element in the timeline will be altered and it will
take on the adjusted length. Whether the material
succeeding the timeline element in the timeline will
be preserved and moved accordingly depends on
the state of the insert/overwrite mode of the Edit
Tool (see section “The Insert/Overwrite Mode of
the Timeline” on page 6-34). Further information
about timecode/frame number entry fields can be
found in section “About Timecode / Frame Num-
ber Fields” on page 2-17.
This button applies the settings of the currently se-
lected timeline element or, with video clips, of the
currently selected and displayed effects operator to
all elements of the same type that precede it in this
track of the timeline.
