Changing the Panel Duration
T-SBFND-009-002
There are two ways to resize a panel, depending on how you want the change to affect subsequent panels. You can resize a panel in the Timeline view and shift all other panels down. This is handy when you are not concerned about modifying the position of all subsequent panels. Or you can resize a panel while only affecting the next panel. This is useful if you need to keep subsequent panels exactly where they are.
An accurate way of setting the duration of a panel is to use the Panel view, which will display, among other things, the exact timecode information for the selected panel.

- In the Timeline or Thumbnails view, select a panel.
- In the Duration field of the Panel view, lengthen or shorten the selected panel by using the up and down arrows or type in a value.

- Place the cursor over the end (right side) of a panel.
The resize icon displays.
- Drag the edge of the panel left or right to set the desired length. Using this method, all subsequent panels will be shifted along with the selected one.
While you drag, the new duration of the panel as well as the difference between the former duration are displayed in a black box for accuracy. This value can be displayed in either frames or timecode.

- Place the cursor over the end (right side) of a panel.
The resize icon displays.
- Hold the Alt key, then drag the edge of the panel left or right to set the desired length. Only the panel directly after the selected panel will be changed.
