Setting title duration

[BK]

I know I can use Options on the Tools pull-down menu to set the duration for
each picture to display. Now I want to put a title on each picture that
will display for the same duration. Is there someplace I can set that title
display duration or do I have to manually adjust it on each picture?

===========================
The only method I'm aware of is to place
the pointer on the edge of the Title Overlay
until I see the double red arrow...then drag
it to the correct length. You'll see a tooltip
that displays the change.

Yes, I know I can change the length of each title individually. I was
hoping there was someplace I could globally set the title display duration
just like there is a place I can globally set the duration of the picture
display and globally set the duration of the transition display. I guess
not, huh?

I guess not...but you could try your question
in the following forum...

FWIW...PhotoStory 3 is a better app for
projects that consist of still shots.

Thanks for redirecting me to the other forum. I didn't know that one
existed. I'll give them a try.

I don't think there's a way to do it with title overlays.
