how do you specify a project duration?
my project is only 10 minutes long, but it keeps reverting to a 2-hour project duration. i tried using the red line along the timeline ruler to indicate my in points (00:00) and out point (10:00), but it's not working. i tried clicking in the Project Duration box, but it won't let me change the time. i looked in the "help" section, but could not find the solution. would appreciate help with this. thanks...

To do this, is use the mark-in/mark-out in Project mode, where you have the red line showing on the time-line. Then in Share>Create Video File, when the Save As dialog window opens, press the Options button. At the top you should have 2 options now, Entire Project or Preview Range. Selecting the Preview Range will create a video file from what is included in the "red-lined' area.
You might want to check to make sure you don't have a stray clip somewhere later in the timeline. The Project duration will reflect the total duration of all clips it sees in the project tracks.
