Adding a fixed time to photos.

[robinski]

I have upgraded to Video Studio X3. I am making a simple collection of photos into a film. I have imported them all into the timeline but a warning message that they were too large to accept the default 10secs display time.

How do I apply a standard display time?

Many thanks,

Robin Chapple

The default setting is definitely NOT 10 seconds - the default is around 3 if I remember correctly you must have set it to 10 - you can change the insertion default via "Settings >> preferences >> Edit" where you can set the 'default color/photo duration' to anything between 1 and 999 seconds.

To change the duration of all the photos in you timeline select them all by clicking on the first one - then shift+click on the last - then go to "Edit >> change photo/color duration" and set a new time

but how many photos are you putting in the timeline - I quite regularly put 300 - 350 with a duration of 6 seconds without problems

Thanks Brian,

The project has 36 photos. I deleted and started again and your suggestion worked.
