Have you ever imported a bunch of photos, perhaps you are working on a slideshow, and placed them on your timeline only to figure out later that all the still images have a duration that is to long or too short? There’s a real easy way to change those images all at once.
First Select all the still images in your timeline that you would like to change.
Right click on them and select “Speed/Duration…”
Change the duration to the length you want. In this example I want to go from 3 seconds per image to a new duration of 1 second per image.
Make sure the you checkmark the “Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips” option so your changes don’t create any gaps.
After you hit ok all of you still images will be 1 second each.
Hope you liked this tip. If you have any suggestions, comments or a different different way of doing it, please leave a comment below.
Thank you for this, I was making a memorial video for my uncle and I realized the photo time was too short, a lot of of other videos or guides showed the method about going to editing the general timeline which was too late for me as I had already inputed all the photos. Thank you!
You are very welcome Alan! I’m glad to have helped.
If I already have dissolves set between each image, will this tip affect the transition duration or keep it the same?
If you are making your clips longer than it really shouldn’t affect the transition. But if you are making your clips shorter then depending on how long your transition is set for and how long the clips you are transitioning between are then your transition could be shortened.
