VS X10 cannot change duration of multiple photos

[tcamuso]

Select a number of photos.
Right-click
Change Photo Duration

I was able to do this in X9, but "Change Photo Duration" is greyed-out in X10.

Am I missing something?

I suspect you must be but I don't know what. It works in my X10. I just dragged and dropped several of the jpegs which come with VS into the timeline. They overlapped each other with my preferred crossfade transition. Then I selected them all, right clicked and Change Photo Duration was active. I changed the duration, and it was applied immediately to all the photos. I then tried it with jpegs from my own photo collection, and again it worked.

What is the format of the photos you are using? Are they jpegs, or some other formats? Mind you, I just set up another project with mixed formats in the photos, even including a couple of .pspimage files, and again it worked.

Never mind.

I found the answer.

You cannot select multiple photos and change their duration with Ripple Editing on!

It makes perfect sense, of course. I had just forgotten that i had left the tracks locked.

All better now.
