Slide Show with pictures

D

David

I added a bunch of pictures from a vacation, added music and timed out what I
thought was a great effect. Then I added transitions which shortened the
length of the slides due to the over lap... I know you can default the
length, but Is there any way to adjust all the slide picture lengths at one
time without having to take them off the story board and adding them again?
All I need is about 1 sec per frame on 100 pics... any help?

================================
Here are your options

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...

If your project does not include video clips...
PhotoStory 3 would be a better choice of aps.
