Each scene, however, must have a duration of at least two frames.

Trim by Dragging an Edge
You can trim any kind of media clip in the Timeline (including audio,
video, and image clips and color boards) by dragging either edge of
that clip. You may find trimming a clip in this way easier if you first
expand the ruler.
Note: Video and audio clips cannot be lengthened beyond their
original duration.
To trim a media clip by dragging an edge, do this:
1. Select the clip you want to modify.
2. Position your cursor at one end of the clip and drag the end of
the clip to the new position.
Note: You can drag the edge of a clip to lengthen it or to shorten it. If
you compress the start of a video or audio clip, playback begins at a
later frame within the clip. If you compress the ending, playback ends
at an earlier frame within the clip.
