<p>I'm new to Final Cut Pro X and I'm trying to extend the duration of a static PNG image so that it shares the length of the video that's over it, but it won't extend no matter what I do. I've tried <kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> and typing in a duration but it just does nothing.</p>

Just to clarify it is Control-D to enter the duration not Command-D

# Can't extend image duration in Final Cut Pro X

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-04-25)

I'm new to Final Cut Pro X and I'm trying to extend the duration of a static PNG image so that it shares the length of the video that's over it, but it won't extend no matter what I do. I've tried `Control`+`D` and typing in a duration but it just does nothing.
