Maximum item duration

If Inherit item duration option is disabled, a new Maximum item duration field will appear, where you have to define the maximum duration of the items.

If Inherit item duration is disabled and maximum item duration is set, the shorter length will be applied!

∙ But if you enter 100s into the Maximum item duration field, the video will end at 62s because the own length is shorter than the one set in the box.
