I do not recall what version of Premiere Elements that you are working with, so I will generalize.
Right click the freeze frame on the Timeline, select Time Stretch. Then in the Time Stretch dialog, set the 00;00;03;00 to 00;00;01;00. That designation represents hours; minutes; seconds; frames.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thanks.

Never too many questions.
I saw your other thread. It seems that you and SG are communicating on that. Since that is the case, I do not want to disturb the flow back and forth between the two of you.
I will be watching your progress there and will be glad to contribute there later if necessary.

Thanks for that.
I have right-clicked on the image itself on the Timeline (I have version 11) and located Time Stretch where I replaced 00;00;05;00 with 00;00;01;00, but the duration did not actually change on the Timeline.

It should change.
So, expand the Expert workspace Timeline with the zoom out ( - ) zoom ( + ) slider above the Timeline (toward right).
Make sure you have the clip that you want highlighted. I think you do since you have gotten to the Time Stretch dialog.
Please give it another try for the same Freeze Frame on that Timeline or a newly created one. We can start thinking about flushing the preferences, but I am not sure if we are ready for that yet.
If worse comes to worse and you are in a time crunch, drag the right edge of the freeze frame in to shorten its duration.
Also, depending on how things go, open a new project and see if you can get the Time Stretch to work on a Freeze Frame duration so that we can determine if the issue is generalized or specific to the one project.
Looking forward to your results.
Thanks.

5. Re: Hello, is it possible to resize the freeze frame duration
SteveH59 Aug 23, 2013 1:54 PM (in response to A.T. Romano)OK, I have the Timeline quite expanded and repeated what I did before: ensuring the correct frame was highlighted and right-clicked and chose Time Stretch and replace 00;00;05;00 with 00;00;01;00. The 'gap' did not close so I played the movie (where the image is) and I could tell it was longer than one second.
Yours sounds like a good solution: dragging in from the right. I will try it all now and the save the file (I don't want to lose it), and will post back with how things are looking.
Thank you again.

Dragging worked a treat and the file is now saving.
Once again, I am in your debt.
I will open a new file to test 'Time Stretch' once this has saved.

That was great news.
If you get a chance, let us know if any further developments on the Time Stretch way.
I am trying to think if I am missing anything in thinking about the why not.
Thanks again. Much appreciated the follow up.

Bill Hunt Aug 23, 2013 4:32 PM (in response to SteveH59)One little tip, that you might have discovered, is when altering the Duration of a Clip, whether a Freeze-frame, or not, is to open the Info Panel, which will give you a full SMPT read-out of the Duration, when click+dragging. Whenever I am adjusting Duration, via that manner, I always go to the Info Panel, to watch my changes.
Good luck,
Hunt

SteveH59 Aug 23, 2013 4:59 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)That's great, Bill. I never knew what the panel was for.
I am staying away from slow/fast motion for that reason (especially if audio is involved). That's a whole different world - but one to look forward to.
Enjoy your weekend.
