The FxTimingAPI allows to to query the duration of your item in the timeline, but we don't currently provide a way for you to change the duration. In case it helps, the user can make filters shorter than the clips they are applied to in Final Cut, as well (but not longer). Almost nobody knows this is possible, but you can do it by dragging in the time bar in the Filters tab. No, there's no way to do that. It sounds like what you actually want is a filter. It will always be the length of the item to which it is applied by default. (In Motion you can make it longer or shorter by dragging the ends of the filter item in the timeline.)
