NancySue Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I am making a brief animated film. I will download probably 100 images and put them into a sequence. My question is: is there any way to control some or all of them as a group, and give each one a duration of 0.5 seconds, or will I have to change the duration of each of them individually? Thank you!

borate Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Set a default still image duration, under OPTIONS | MEDIA tab, which will apply only to clips to be added to the bin. For existing clips, select those you want, right-click on one and Change Clip Speed. Highlight the duration field. Type in a new duration. All selected clips will change. That can be performed on bin or timeline clips. There's also a feature available via the Menu (top-left corner of the window) | FILE drop-down named Add Images As Video that could prove useful. Experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancySue Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Interesting, interesting. --In my case, there will be like 100 "existing clips", is that right? Each image is a "clip"? I'm not clear how I select those I want. I tried moving the cursor over a few and turning them blue, but when I right-clicked on one it gave me the option to Delete/Crop or Export the selected region, or to split all tracks, but not to Change Clip Speed. If I didn't turn them blue with the cursor, I could Change Clip Speed. How do I select more than one? This is all quite fun; I wish I had more time!

borate Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Ignore the cursor. Click on a clip to select it, hold down <ctrl> and click on another, and so forth. Or click the first clip, hold down <shift> and click the last. All within the range will be selected. This is standard MS Windows file handling procedure. Right-click any selected clip and Change Clip Speed. When selected, the black area between thumbs turns grey. Swiping, where the timeline turns blue provides other options, as you discovered. select.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
