forming a gap w/pictures

[Marcy]

How can I add pictures to my timeline in sections?
For exam: I want to jump to the middle or end of the movie that I am making
& add pictures to match the audio. But WMM seems to only let me drag the
audio that I have added (forming a gap in audio) and not the pictures. It
appears that I can only add pictures to the next empty frame available in
sequence and not later to where I have the audio in advance.I can drag the
picture & lengthen it, but it doesnt 'budge' to a different frame or area
creating a gap, as when I do it with audio.
Is this possible to do?
thanks in advance

=================================
There's no way to leave gaps in the Video
track of the timeline. And if you could...you
would have a black screen for the duration
of the gap...pretty boring for a video don't
you think?

If a black screen is what you want...you could
create black images in your image editing
software and add them to the timeline in the
places where you want the gaps.

Then again...maybe I don't understand the
question.

I'd do what you say John, add a black still picture to create the size of
gap required.

Hi John & Graham & all : Im sorry if I wasn't clear on my question. I DO
want to fill in the gaps with picture & audio. Just not yet. I am trying to
do a mini movie for my graduate and since I am scanning pics, gathering
digital pics, etc, I would like to work with what I have now and as I get
more pics, insert them later (since I am doing a chronological type movie).
And since I am on a time limit with graduations nearing, I prefer to get my
work started and not wait to throw it all together in one 'shot'-i figure
this movie will for sure be more than 10 minutes long....
please help if you can, thank you

Unfortunately that doesn't change the answer you still can't leave empty
space between the pictures.
If you want an early start you can still add a blank image to bridge the gap
and replace it with pictures later.

===================================
You could drag any image into the areas where
you plan to insert pictures later...you can add the
same image to the project as many times as you
wish.

and for those who forget things like I do, you can add a title clip using
Movie Maker... and type in it a reminder of what will go into it later, like
"... this space is for the video clip of Jessie...". Stretch it to the
duration you want.

What a great idea John
