As far as I can see the only way I can turn on "Flicker Reduction" is to select each individual clip on the timeline, right click and select Media Source Properties.
Surely there must be a way to do the whole lot in one go.
I am currently trying out the abilities of this program to create a slideshow from 120 still photo's. Apart from the flicker issue (Yes Heinz I've read your post!!) it is far better than what I have used in the past for this purpose - Pro-Show Gold. The advantages of MSP8 over ProShow Gold are the abilities to include moving paths and picture in picture effects.

Below MSO = media source options
In MSPro 7 MSO application is on a per-clip basis, so you can't do more than one clip/image at a time.
In MSPro 8 this changed. Now you can use CTRL-click to multi-select sources, then from the context menu you can set all their MSO's at once.
Cool
Turning on Summary Timeline first helps doing this considerably as you can usually fit more thumbnails in the desktop at once.
That said which way you should proceed depends on what the majority of your sources are: images or interlaced video. DVD does support non-interlaced (progressive, as are images) content 'ya know
The only reason to turn on flicker reduction is when mixing non-interlaced content in an interlaced project. Setting flicker reduction just generates the 2nd field necessary for display on an interlaced TV.
As such have you considered setting the project settings to FRAME, which would make the whole project non-interlaced? When finished export using FRAME as well.
When played to a TV the DVD the deck will generate the 2nd field for progressive content.
