"Anchoring" Titles Timeline in VS Pro X7

[DayO]

I have created a videotape of slides (90, 5:00 minute total duration) in VS Pro X7, with an added slide Titling timeline.

Now I want to change the duration of each slide from 3:00 minutes to 4:00 minutes.

How can I "anchor" the Title timeline so that it doesn't overlap into the next slide, so all the Titles can stay synchronized, as I
adjust the time duration of each slide?

turn on "Ripple editing" by closing the relevant padlocks at the very left hand end of the timeline - this should keep everything locked together

you can adjust the duration of all photos at the same time - select the first one - - go to the last one hold down 'Shift' as you select it - all should now be selected. RIGHT click ove the selected block and choose 'Change Photo Duration' set the new time in the boxes

Thanks for your quick reply, Brian Cee.

I think you saved the bacon on this project, sir.

Whoops! The "Ripple editing" icon on the Title Timeline doesn't appear as selectable/bold, with the Title Timeline selected....

[BrianCee]

you must close the padlock on the top track first to make the others operable

Hi

I am afraid Change Photo Duration does not work with ripple editing.
You would have to change the photo durations then manually adjust the titles positions.
You say changing the duration from 3 minutes to 4 minutes, is that a typo and Seconds was intended?

[DayO]

Yes, it's actually 3 to 4 seconds, correct!

And I did discover that Ripple editing doesn't work for my needs.

So I manually and laboriously changed the duration for both photos and titles--but it was worth it, as the video
was well-received at a memorial service today for a loved one...

Kudos to you all for your informed assistance.
