dr.jay@hotmail.com Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 My movie is too long. Is there a way to quickly shorten all the still images from 3.0 to 2.5 seconds, without having to click each file? When I go through options and select default of 2.5 seconds for still image duration, it doesn't apply the change to all the still images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationalsolo Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hi Do this.... Assuming all your video consists of just images and you have them on the video track already with the default duration for each one. Let's say you want them all to be twice as long. Create a sequence of all your clips by clicking the + to the right of the word "Sequence 1" (at the left of the screen) This will clear your main video track and put the sequence in the media list under sequences as "Sequence 1" So you can see what is happening switch to storyboard mode. Now place the new sequence 1 back onto the empty videotrack. As you are in storyboard mode you will see the total time indicated under the thumbnail. e.g if the default image time was 5 seconds and you have 10 images in the sequence then it will register 50 seconds. Right click the thumbnail now and seleect "Change clip speed" In the window that comes up enter the % speed change you require. Depending on your requirements and the original default duration, you will have to work this out yourself. In this example we want each slide to be shown for double the time so we enter 50% and click "Set" The sequence line will now show that it has doubled its duration and so each slide in the sequence will be seen for twice the time. This will work only for slides as they are still images. Obviously movie clips will slow down or speed up. If your still images are spread out amongst the video clips you will only be able to treat them individually Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
