<p>I am new in the field of video production and a new user in Davinci Resolve 16.1.2.026. I want to change the duration of an image in my clip but whatever I tried din't work... My default standard still duration (Menu>Preferences>User>Editing) is 5 secs. But my image in clip lasts only 0.02secs (obviously user can't see anything).</p>

<p>I have also tried to change it using Change Clip Duration (mouse's right click menu) and after that, to Delete gaps (Menu>Edit>Delete Gaps) like the video shown above.

            </div></div>)</p>

<p>An other idea is to check out if my image is somehow locked, that's why Davinci cannot modify it, but it isn't.</p>

<p>Any other idea??
Thank you all for the time and the willing!</p>

<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I resolve this. First of all I change the image's type (jpeg -> png -> jpeg again). Then I re-linked the image.</p>

<p>Don't ask me why it works... It's enough for me that it works! :)</p>

You should report the issue to BlackMagic.  They're really good about squashing bugs quickly.  Also, FYI, you can change the default duration of imported still images like .jpegs Under Preferences->User->Editing->General Settings->Standard Still Duration.  Cmd/Ctrl-R usually pulls up the Re-time controls for a clip on the timeline, but it didn't work for me with a .jpeg, so I think it's a bug.
