There are no handles for the instances in one of my projects. I cannot change the duration of images. No problem for my other projects. What am I missing? I am using 11.7 with a Mac Studio on Monterey. Thanks.

Usually this happens if the timeline is compacted too much, so the handles disappear. Click and drag the Zoom Ratio button to expand the timeline so the handles are visible again.

Of course. Dummy me! The scene is unusual because it is 35 seconds long, so I didn't realize this simple thing. Thanks..

It's an easy thing to overlook !

Also, in the new version 11.7.1 (released Dec. 22, 2022) there is an option in the Preferences to always open the scene with the Timeline expanded fully.
