movie maker

For basic moviemaker-
Can I change all the transitions at once?
Can I change the time a pcture is shown after a slideshow
is on the storyboard?
Even after I save a slideshow through wizard it still
will not open but when I try to open the file that does
save it brings me back to movie maker, but not as a full
sceen slideshow. It states it is looking for prodject
files and takes a number of minutes to open even movie
maker. any hints?

> For basic moviemaker-

Yes, if you select all the existing transition slots you can do a mass
change, however, this only works if you are changing them to the same
transition.

> Can I change the time a pcture is shown after a slideshow

Yes, by dragging the right edge of the picture in the timeline.

This sounds like you are trying to open the Movie Maker project, rather than
an exported movie. When your slideshow is finished, go to File, Save Movie
File and step through the wizard to output your finished movie.
