Play range shorter than project duration

Hi,


Wondering if someone can enlighten me!


When I create a project of 10 seconds duration (25 fps, 1080 HD), the timeline is (dark) greyed out between 9:24-10:00. I can’t drag the play range out marker any higher than 9:24.


In the export/share settings, the play range and project duration are both listed as 10.00, but Quicktime says the file is 9:29 while “Get Info” says it is 00:10.


I’ve tried time switching between timecode and seconds in the project properties but this doesn’t seem to make a difference.


Is this normal behaviour or should I be able to set the play range out to 10:00 exactly?


Many Thanks

Mark

I don't see anything wrong, but maybe I am misunderstanding.

The first frame has timecode 0:00:00 and since the project has frame rate 25 each second has 25 frames, numbered from 0 to 24.

So for ten seconds it goes from 0:00:00 to 0:09:24.
