X7: Changing slide duration?

Post by Eldor »

I'm a new VisualStudio X7 Ultimate user...

I created a slideshow of still photos with Fastflick X7 and am editing it with VS. The default slide duration seems to have been 7 seconds (but for some reason many are 7.05 seconds). I've already customized most of the pan and zoom settings for images and now I'd really like to shorten the slide duration.

Isn't there some EASY way of changing the slide duration for ALL slides in one shot? The only way I've found so far is to click on one slide at a time and go to the properties and change the duration. Right-clicking and selecting "Copy Attributes" and then "Paste Attributes" doesn't copy the slide duration. And with 100+ slides, I'd rather not have to do this one slide at a time.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes - click on the first slide in the timeline - then go to the last slide in the timeline and hold down 'Shift' while you select it

this should select all slides as indicated by a yellow line all round.

RIGHT click on the selected block and from the pop up choose "Change photo duration"

the little clock which then appears is Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames - highlight the option you want to change and use the little up/down arrows to change it - Or highlight the number and type in a new number.

clicking OK will change the duration of all slides

Darn it! I totally missed that! Thank you so much for pointing it out.

For some reason I was fixated on trying to get to the duration setting which is up above (in the upper right pane, whatever that's called) and couldn't do that with more than one photo selected. Likewise, copying attributes and pasting them didn't work. I was blind to the "Change photo duration" option in the popup. Old age, I guess.

All is well now. Thanks!
