Slide Shows?

[Bob Hughes]

I have a 700 slide presentation with music at 2 sec each. Is it possible to increase them all to 3 sec? I would add more music.

yes highlight the clip and above you wil see a timing of that clip with up and down arrows. up this from here either by the arrows or insert the timing.

in Movie wizard add your clips. before pressing next highlight all clips and right click.

next you will duration click this and you will be able to set duration for each clip uniformly

Your method works for each image individually, but not for all of them at one time. A clip is just one image.

Click File > Preferences > Edit. The first of the little check boxes sets the default time for display of inserted images (and color panels). But I think it only works from before your initial creation of the slideshow, rather than allowing it to change for one that is already made. But I wouldn't swear to that -- try it and see. Otherwise your alternatives would seem to be either changing each of your 700 photos individually, or else setting the new display time and then re-creating the slideshow in its entirety.

Okay I found it. Highlight all the images you want to change the duration and go to clip menu (top right) select "change image/colour duration". Of course you now have to reline titles & music.

Nice discovery!! I never knew that we could do this. It is especially nice because it looks as if we can set the timing to fractions of a second.

This is ideal for syncronizing the slide change to happen with the beat of the music.

Now, if only we could figure out how to restore the Video/Audio sync capability...

no it works for all clips highlighted!
