What is the fastest way to adjust a timeline duration?
Suggest a better way if you have it. Thanks!
This may seem easy to some but I'm putting this out there in case in pros have a faster way. Have you ever had a super long time line way longer then was needed because you hacked a scene in aims to repurpose for a new project?
This is how I do it.

Hi Ryan
if you click on the end of the timeline and then hit the left arrow key it brings it in pretty quick - as opposed to dragging it.
Thanks Wendy, Tried that , (on a Mac Parallels) that did not work, probably me, do you press the left arrow key in your video? Maybe there's another key command I can figure out.
Hi Ryan
sorry didn't realise you were doing it on a Mac the video was on a PC and yes I click the timeline (hold the mouse down) and hit the left arrow key. I'll check it out on my Mac and post back later.
Can not get this to work.
That's... that's... that's simply marvelous, wish I knew it for the last 10 years :D
Awesome. Thanks for sharing Ryan :)
the left arrow moves the cue head even when the mouse is held down, thank you for your time.
Thank you for the feedback ladies! It works. This matter seems take a combination of tips to address given that certain "not to end" tracks can prohibit the total timeline shortening.
For me using the left arrow has a serious pause before it moves it over, I'll mention that possibility, but very very helpful and I'll adjust the video.
Hi Ryan,
Have you tried this?
Hi Michael,
Have you tried clicking and dragging the end of the timeline to the left, then pressing the left arrow key? That should make the timeline jump back to the longest object on the timeline.
Let me know if that helps!
Thanks @Alyssa Gomez
Even a better fix.
Once you start dragging, press the Home key and you will jump to the beginning of the timeline.

You're a star mate!
Please add a feature where you can manually type in the length of the timeline. Having to drag everything is, quite frankly, a drag.
Second this!
Yes please. THis absolutely drives me crazy!!!!
Just came across this thanks a lot as it's saved me chucking my laptop out the window! Editing someone else's file which had a 6000+ sec timeline on each slide for absolutely no logical reason!
Thanks, @Alyssa Gomez , You saved my day.
