Here's the command your thinking of from a previous post:

Had to dig up the 310 manual to remember this helpful command for
adjusting the length of an import to more than 60 sec.
cmd_setimportslidelength XX where xx is the number of frames a still
will be imported to. 36000 yields something like 20 minutes or so and
it doesn't take up anymore media space. Good for show bugs. I hope
that I can retrieve this from the archives in the future.

I was told in class this also effected default title length but in practice it did not for me. Perhaps something changed in later versions. I used this on recent versions for show bugs and it works. Don't know if the title interaction ever worked but I did here that from the best Avid instructor I ever knew.
