How can I stop the red line from moving after the movie has ended?

I'm practicing with some short videos I took at a zoo and at a ballroom dance. I learned how to do fades, titles, and markers. The edit and object trimmers are still a puzzle, though, perhaps because the manual is not clear. But here is a simple question that someone can answer: After a movie is over in the editing screen, the vertical red line keeps moving to the right and the timeline numbers in the monitor keep getting larger. This is not the red line below the playback marker; it's the other red line that keeps moving as the movie progresses. (Is there a name for this line in English?) I'd like it to stop when the movie ends.

At the bottom right of the timelines there are buttons for controlling the zoom of the timeline display. If you set this to 100% using the double headed arrow thing [<=>] playback should stop at the end. It also a handy way of checking for orphan bits like say a 10 sec image off the the right that is too small to be seen as a timeline object.

Hi

After you have checked, as Carl has suggested, for rogue objects, you can delete the empty space by clicking as shown in the image and then selecting Edit, Edit Range, Delete from the menu bar
