If you don’t know how to animate in Synfig, please read the [manual in wiki](https://wiki.synfig.org/Doc:Animation_Basics).

You got to canvas. It’s on the top where the menu bar is. select properties, then select time. At the bottom right hand side you will find a little box saying frames. erase the frame number that is there and put in the number of frames you want. I hope this helps everyone. I spent a month trying to figure this out especially the F8 did work for me.

You can change the ending time by typing it in this toolbar field:

Change `5s` to whatever you want. Maybe `5s 3f` to add just three frame more. Or to `30f` if your animation must last 30 frames only, etc.
