Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
In Imovie 10.2.5 I have many still video clips that I want to highlight all and change duration of all of them to same duration. However, when I click on the i for information circle it shows a number and then 'of a number' followed by an s. What am I doing wrong and what is the "of" mean?

It means that one of your selected clips is a video, not a photo. So, x no. of seconds of y no. of seconds total. It tells you the total number of seconds in the video clip, but you cannot change the duration of a video clip with the i button.
Check your selected clips and make sure that all the selected clips are photos and are contiguous.

You are welcome. 😊
The only ways to adjust the duration of video clips is to trim them (which means eliminating some footage) or to change the speed of the video to make it play a shorter or longer time. To change the speed you control-click on the video clip in the timeline and, from the drop down menu click on Show Speed editor. That will reveal a speed adjustment handle in the upper right hand corner of the clip that you can drag left or right to make the clip slower (play longer) or faster (play shorter).

Thanks Rich! You were 100% helpful. I thought still video clips could be mass adjusted for duration and you set me straight.
I appreciate your help and quick response.

Can't set duration of movie clips to same duration in Imovie
