1/60 sec.=16.67 milliseconds. You possibly mean 3 frames or 50 milliseconds.

The reason I referred to the duration to be 3 microseconds (and I guess I should have said "milliseconds!) is because Customer Support gave me this information, and I quote:

"The format of duration is hh:mm:ss:ms."

Well, now I am confused. I guess this is something I need to do some research on. Thank you. SO HAPPY when I'm rocking right along with the software. SO FRUSTRATED when I can't find the answers but ON CLOUD 9 when I do!

Hi there:

I suppose your problem is a blank space between clips. I wouldn't call it frame(s) at all, whatever its length. If I had this problem, I would select all the clips to the right of the naughty spot, moved them (altogether) to the right a visible distance, and them moved them to the left again until they touch the clip to the left of the blank space. This snap effect to make sure no blank space is left between the touching clips takes place as indicated with a thin blank vertical line running down all the tracks on the timeline at the touching point until you release the mouse button (or move the selected clips away from this safe position, which would cause either a blank space again [if moved to the right] or a four-item menu popping up to choose what to do with overlapping clips [if moved to the left]).

By the way, it is a convention in video edtiting to show the number of frames (not milliseconds) after seconds in digital time formats. This is how Current Time is displayed below the preview window in PowerDirectors as well: hh:mm:ss:ff. The number of frames per second depends on your Timeline Frame Rate setting (General section) in Preferences (Alt-C) in PowerDirector.

Regards…

Jirka
