How to manage length of multiple clips?

Post by Pepi »

Hi friends !
VideoStudio pictures to same length.jpg
As you can see, I have multiple files on multiple tracks.

Question is simple: how to make the length for all of those pictures to the same in the easiest way?

It appears that in VS2018, whilst you can select all photos, the "Change Photo Duration" feature only affects the video track. Hence to change the duration for photos on the overlay tracks at a single go, you'll have to move the photos temporarily onto the video track, make the duration change, and then move them back to the overlay tracks.

(I only have VS 2018 to test)
To change all at once to the same duration:

1) Click on the first photo on the Video track.
2) Ctrl A will select all photos on Video and all Overlay tracks.
3) Right-click > Change Photo Duration...
4) Enter the desired duration.

Hi
Agree with Tletter the photo duration only affects the top video track.
Moving each overlay clips to the top track to change the duration should work.
Using a chapter point as a marker would help in locating the position of the first clip.
However if there are any gaps in the overlay tracks as overlay 2,5,6 seems it indicate, those gaps will close affecting your timings, any transitions should be ok.
You have also applied some animation, FX or Customise Motion which could be affected by changing the duration.???
Before you start save the project to give you a copy.

The other option would be to render the image section to a video file, then using the video we can change its duration (Speed and Timelapse), or dragging the end whilst pressing Shift.

Thank you friends to sharing this.

Kind of crazy to see that they have this feature, but it is not available on all the tracks. :shock:
