I am making a video comparing 2 cameras and I will mark every second clip with camera name in one corner. The only method I know is to drag the text to the lower timeline and fiddle with the duration clock which is very hard and timeconsuming. I hope there is a way to sync my text marker with the different length of every clip. Does anyone know the workflow, please? Corsair Vengeance C70, Asus Geforce GTX 1060

I think I found a useable method myself. I will drag out the timeline and cut where the clip ends. Corsair Vengeance C70, Asus Geforce GTX 1060

Check the duration of the video clip. Right mouse click on the title and click Set duration… A window pops up for you to enter the time so you don’t have to drag it.

Thanks.
The problem I had was that the timeline was too short that it was impossible to set the duration correct. I suddenly remembered that I could drag out the timeline ( from the curve at the bottom left corner) and then it became easy to clip and set the duration.smile Corsair Vengeance C70, Asus Geforce GTX 1060
