Is there a way to set the duration times of all the photo slides at
once? Doing it individually is time consuming and tedious. I know you
can set the default time before you make your slide show. Is there
some way to "autofit" the slide show to your chosen song?
================================
If you switch to Storyboard view and select
all the clips as a batch...you can add the
"Speed Up, Double" or "Slow Down, Half"
effect to change the duration. Just select
all the clips / right click the Effect and from
the menu...choose...Add To Storyboard.
"Speed Up, Double" cuts the duration in half.
"Slow Down, Half" doubles the duration.
These effects can be added up to six times.
If you need a more accurate adjustment...
the following info might be useful:
The setting change at: Tools / Options /
Advanced tab...only applies to clips added
to the timeline *after* you change the setting.
You can change the duration for each clip
manually. Move your pointer around on the
edge of a clip until you see a double red
arrow. Now drag the double red arrow...
you'll see a tooltip that shows the duration
changing.
Or...just redo the project after you change
the duration at: Tools / Options / Advanced
tab.
FWIW...PhotoStory 3 is a better app for
working with still shots and there is a free
download that will allow you to batch change
the duration.
