event or selection length

I know this is a minor question to post and I apologize.

I can't figure out how to get VMS to show an event length when I select it. The event length box is browned out and the project media does not show a length or time in and time out.

I am working with both stills and video. Beyond the default setting I need to vary the lengths on many of the stills. It's very time consuming to take a still and drag it up under the timebar and count out the seconds to stretch or compress it and then drag it back down. Likewise using the track motion box to check the length and working back an forth.

Bye the way, I love this software, it's rock solid. I keep Elements around solely because it will handle VOB files ect, and Pinnacle was a total bust. The Vegas support has been awesome

This may be too simple but you must double click an event to have it's length display.

What a blithering idiot I am. Knew it had to be something simple. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

A related question - Is there a way to adjust the length of an event without having to drag the mouse? A place to type it in somewhere?
