Change Duration of MULTIPLE CLIPS In Final Cut Pro // SIMPLE SHORTCUT

In this short video we show how to change clip duration with a simple shortcut in Final Cut Pro X.

We also use the same method to change the duration of multiple clips at the same time to a precise amount of time that you require.

To see my work on the 'Colin Derbyshire Channel' click the link below. Please consider subscribing to both channels if you like the videos.

LIFE SAVER !!! can't believe until now i used to do it clip by clip... whewwww thank you!

When I do this there is space between all the clips. In your video the videos are still next to each other after setting the time. How do I do this?

Thanks so much for the trick. Saved a lot of time. Love from India.

Excellent! Thank you for not assuming I have been using Final Cut Pro forever. So many content creators blast through a tip and I have to rewatch and rewatch a video. Sure it looks good when you are searching let''s say it says 5 minutes you think oh cool I will get what I need without too much extra but what happens then is you run through topics and tips so quick you end up watching the video for 10 minutes to understand what they did. I Sub'd as I'm trying to get my channel to 10K subs!

hello can you tell me how to change the clock counter ..i changed to frame count and now i don t kinow how to see the minutes in the clock thanks

[SDPickups]

One thing that confused me is that you DON'T click in the area where the duration is shown, you enter the length of time after you do control D, and do not click into the time reading, if you do, it doesn't work at all. You simply do control-D and THEN just type without clicking into anything and it will change all the lengths after hit RETURN, Very confusing, , , ,

Confusing UI. I wish FCPX just exposed the clip duration in the properties pane, the same way transform position and scale are shown.

Ctrl+D does nothing in Lightworks 2023.2. What is the appropriate new way of doing this?

[bollywoodbeauties]

how to give one duration for all the different clips

[ramiroariel]

[EmilianoLoconsolo]

ctrl+D, I type in the duration and it simply does nothing. What am I missing?

[yosoylaferu]

Thank you for your video! Does this work on macbooks or only macs?

Do you know a way to add 2 second to multiple clips when they have different durations? 
For example you have a sequence: clip_1: 2s, clip_2: 3s, clip_3: 7s -> (add 2s to each) -> clip_1: 4s, clip_2: 5s, clip_3: 9s
