I have a problem in iMovie 10.1.2. I can no longer select a photo and extend its length, say from 3 seconds to 4 seconds. My cursor is red and I cannot get back to the normal cursor.

Hi, jhskyline,
To change the length (duration) of a photo in iMovie 10.1.1 (current version), select the photo in the timeline, and then click on the information button in the toolbar at the top of your screen. It's the one that has an "i" with a circle around it. To the right you will see a duration box. Type in the duration you want and press return on your keyboard.
Another way is to expand the your time line slightly with the slider located above the timeline and to the right, next to the settings button. Then you can select the photo and drag it's edge to extend the duration.
Thanks for the tip, Rich. My program got stuck in some weird editing mode and I couldn't get the cursor (which had become red in color) to manually extend the duration of photos. But I used the tried-and-true method of closing and restarting the program (a slow process in iMovie) and the problem went away. Thanks.
How do I change the length of a photo in iMovie? I cannot drag the edge because the cursor is red.
