Hello, I can't figure out how to change the timing of the video compound clip to stretch past the area blacked out. In this example I've created a timelapse with photos and it has limited the time (due to me changing the time) and I'm trying to figure out how can I stretch the timing past the blacked out area?. *see image.
Thank you for your help!

As Tom and Luis said, you can adjust the length by expanding and contracting both bridges of the compound clip on the timeline.
You may not want to change the duration of the clip, but you may want to change the start or end point. In that case, you can shift the contents of the clip forward or backward using the T key or, if there is a connected clip, the T→@ key. This is called "slip editing."
*@=Override connection (depending on keyboard type, ~ key may be used instead)

Step out of the compound and back to the project timeline, and drag the edge of the clip to extend it.
When you're stepped into a compound clip like your screenshot, the darkened area shows you what part of the compound is not currently being used.
You should be able to do that inside the project where the compound is used.
Hi Tom, thanks for the reply, but how do I move the line/arrow to stretch the timing?
Ok, I figured it out thanks Luis!
