Change images duration in one step

I have some images of various duration in the timeline , and I'd like to change their duration in one step, so to make them lasting all the same. Is it possible?

I have i.e. the first image of 10 seconds and the 2nd image of 5. If I select both and right-click POINTING on 5 sec image, setting duration to 2 sec I get the first becoming 7 sec and the second 2 sec. If I POINT to first image I can't set a lower duration than 5 sec (because the second is 5 sec long)...
What I want to say, is that here the images are changed proportionally. I can't impose them to last both, say, 3 seconds in one step
Can you?

  • Change image duration from 1 frame to 2 seconds

    I have imported some images from an iMovie project to the timeline of FCP. They imported at 1 frame duration. I have tried every suggestion from other threads as to changing the duration of the images, to no avail. They seem to be locked. Nothing works. What am I missing? I need to change them to 2 seconds. I tried control/click and changing the duration to 2 seconds - no go. I have reset the preferences to 2 seconds, and imported another image as a test - still imports at 1 frame only. I have changed the duration in the Browser - doesn't change anything. I have tried the Viewer and can't make it budge. Help!
    I imported directly from iMovie to the timeline so I could keep the images in order. If I import from the browser, it imports at the preference setting, but that means I would need to wade through the browser to put them in order again (very time consuming to do it with 300 images)
    gary

    Would making a freeze frame of the image work? Could be pretty fast. Load in viewer, shift-n. drag to browser. Do you want to email me one of the images and I'll see if there's anything obvious? My email address is in my profile.
    Also, what format did you export them from in IMovie. You might be able to use a graphic utility or photoshop to do a batch conversion

  • Importing Still Images - Stuck on one step

    I've never imported a still image into FCP before but I'm following some Ken Stone articles on doing it but I'm stuck on one bit.
    I've pasted in the directions below and its the third one, "paste in photgraphs". I've never used Photoshop (im using elements) and I just can't paste in the photo i want to use. The 'copy' and 'paste' options are greyed out so i really don't know how to progress. Any help would be apreciated.
    1) From PhotoShop File menu > new.
    2) Set Width to 720 pixels, Height to 540 Pixels, Resolution to 72 dpi, Color Mode to RGB, and Contents to White or choose a Background Color.
    3) Create your artwork, set text, paste in photographs. When done with your art work Save this image and give it name like "Image Name 540".
    4) File menu > Image > Image size
    5) In the Image Size dialog box FIRST uncheck the 'Constrain Proportions' box.
    6) In the Pixel Dimension section, top the dialog box, change your Height setting from 540 to 480. Leave the Width setting at 720.
    7) Click Okay.
    If you look at your image you see that it is now distorted, flatten down. Don't panic, this is the conversion process and when the square pixels get converted to rectangular pixels in NTSC your image will once again look correct.
    8) Do a 'Save As', Photoshop format (.psd) and name the file "Image Name 480".
    9) Import into FCP and render. You will see that your image on NTSC once again has it's proper proportions.

    Not quite sure I follow you. You're having problems in Photoshop?
    You must open the photo as a separate file in photoshop. Just find the image you want to use, control/right click on it and choose open with>photoshop.
    When this image is open, you can click-hold-and-drag it across to your main image canvas.

  • Howto change duration of images (change the duration of group of images )?

    Hi all,
    I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.3 and I wish to change the duration on the time line of all my photos. I can do it one by one but there are 100 of them.
    Question: how can I select all pictures and change the duration of ALL images (the default 5 sec and I wish to make it 3 sec?)
    * when I right click the photo --> show info -->the duration *is not* editable?!?!
    any idea how to circumvent this?
    Thank you!

    Select the first photo in the sequence. Then while holding the shift key, select the last one. This should cause all of the photos from the first through the last to be selected. Then, be sure to click on "Media" and then "Photos". This should then show a button that says "Show Photo Settings"; click on that. In the window, go to the box at the bottom, and change the duration to one that you wish. This new time should be applied to all of the selected photos.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to change the duration of a sequence of stills all at once

    Hi.
    I know how to change the duration of one still, but changing the duration of many seems elusive.  I've gone to the Help menu and typed "Duration."  That points me to the menu where I would change the duration of one still.
    Thanks for your help!

    edit:
    For items already in the timeline, Select the each item in the timeline, right click and select "change speed" from the popup menu. You can not change the duration of a group of slides, only one at a time.
    To change images that are already imported but not in the timeline, there are two ways to go - the brute force method and the item by item method.
    Brute Force: Delete the stills from the Browser, change the duration of still setting in User Preferences>Editing to what you want, then reimport the stills. They will come in with the new duration. Changing the User Preference setting only affects stills imported after the change, it has no effect on material already in the Browser.
    Item By Item: Go to the still in the Browser and change the duration for it. Right click on the time and copy it. Select the next still image time, paste the new time in, rinse and repeat. If you have a lot of stills and they are well organized (ie all in the same folder), the brute force is probably faster.

  • Need Help Pasting Key Frames from one still image to others, and Changing the duration of multiple still images.

    I'm working on a stop motion project, and I have at least a thousand still images to work with.
    I have adjusted several Key Frame settings on the 1st still image in my project, such as
    Brightness
    Cropping
    Scale
    Position
    I now want to apply these exact settings to hundreds of still images at a time that make up one scene in the project (but not all still images in the entire project).. Is there a way to paste or easily transfer them?
    Also, there are scenes I'm working on in which I want to change the image duration of hundreds of photos at once, but not change to duration of all images in the project, is this possible?
    I've looked at several different web-links, but none of them have what I'm looking for. If you can please help me, I'd be willing to send you $10 through paypal. Knowledge is power; the solution to these problems would save me hours of time. If you don't fully understand my questions I can send you a pictures or a video, pointing out my needs.

    Stan,
    Thanks again for your input.
    When the project is created, I don't recall seeing the preference settings until after the project opens the first time.  In that case if certain media was imported into the project panel but not in the sequence, after the duration was changed, it would be necessary to remove the media from the project panel then re-import again.  If there is a workaround to this please let me know.  It also doesn't appear that creating a new sequence would prevent the re-importing.  Could you confirm?
    Thanks for the link on automating to sequence--I remember that from CS4.
    The application of identical effects to media on the timeline in a sequence was something I had learned back in CS3 or maybe earlier CS4 where the effected, in this case a transition between images was applied then copied then using the paste or (Control V) command, applied to all other stills.  That worked fine but with lots of images, it ends up being a lot of "point and clicks" since the CTI must be moved to each transition insertion point before the paste is applied. 
    I actually thought that I had seen someone select the remainder of the images in the sequence then apply the paste command but I was never able to make that work.  Have you heard of such a short-cut?
    Much thanks again!!

  • I'm trying to pause import to one step dvd so I can change 60 min tapes.

    Hi all
    I'm trying to archive mini dv to dvd as easily as possible, my tapes are 62 min
    long and if I put 2 tapes into imovie I already exceed buning limit.
    One step dvd only lets me import one tape and then decides to complete the task of burning.
    Should I buy better software or my other method could be to pipe the camcorder into my panasonic set top dvd burner, but I'm not sure if I'll
    lose some quality it only has s video connection and no fire wire.
    help

    I've solved my own problem.
    While importing to one step dvd and while on that pane I click and hold a word
    on the top bar of the screen wich sort of freezes everything and with my other
    hand I pause the play on the camera and eject the tape 2 seconds before
    the tape is about to come to its end, then load a rewound tape back in and
    push play then let go of the mouse or even click one more time on the menu bar. I don't think one step knew what just happened, but there maybe blue
    screen recorded while I changed tapes. We'll see.

  • How do I change the duration of a still image in iMovie to less than 0.1 second?

    I am creating a movie using iMovie where I need the still images to be 0.05 seconds each or maybe even less., but whenever I select the still images and go to "Clip Adjustments" and under duration change 0.1s to 0.05s and select "Done", iMovie changes the duration back to 0.1s. I'm fairly new to iMovie and I've been messing around with it for quite a while now and still can't figure it out. Could someone help me?

    for stop-motion there are perhaps better tools avail

  • I want to import still images to make a stop motion animation, but when I try to change the duration of still images, it isn't reflected in the timeline.  How can I do this?

    Tonaw,
    If you import your still images using iPhoto, then the time you set for each still, using FCPX Perferences works.
    You can set the durantion from 1 frame to as long as you want them view.
    If you do not use iPhoto to import your stills, the default is 10 sec's.
    FYI: This issue was brought up within a month after FCPX was released. They found out by using iPhoto, you had better control of the amount of time your still was viewed.

  • Export and then import those images in one step?

    I'm slightly annoyed that every time I want to use the export function to create jpeg versions of images, I then have to do the extra step of importing those jpegs into my catalog. Is there some way to do this in one step?
    If I need .tiff's of .psd's, I just use the edit in photoshop function, because that has the option to automatically stack with original, but there is no option that I can find for other formats.
    Thanks

    Right, then until 2.0 comes out, I'll try the watched folder idea that John suggests. Yea, I was talking about raw files, but also psds or really any "digital neg".
    As for the workflow import-process-export, and the final product not needing to be re-imported because it theoretically needs no more processing, this would be fine if one used lightroom to organize digital negs and bridge to organize absolutely everything, including final versions for various media, but I'm glad that adobe has realized that at least some of us use are trying to use lightroom without opening bridge a lot of the time. Although I haven't even tried using bridge that much, maybe there are advantages over lightroom as a central depository.

  • One Step DVD

    I am new to using this program. I followed the instructions and copied the movie from camera to computer for one step DVD. The computer burned the disc and it then played only part of the movie and with three repeats. It either did not copy all of the mini dv from the camera; or failed somewhere in the process. I thought this was supposed to be quite user friendly. I have been reading the directions.It is less than 60 minutes long. I am using my MacBook Pro X (10.4.9) andhave all of the updates. Any suggestions would be appreciated very much. I am going to try again. Unfortuntely at the moment I only have available -R DVD that cost $3.00 each.
    I also tried to burn a disc of a different movie on imovie. It said something about trash needing to be emptied (the regular trash was empty) and then that it was too much.....also less than 60 minutes.
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   MacBookPro is OS 10.4.9
    MacBookPro and Mac G4 desktop   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   MacBookPro is OS 10.4.9

    Hi Merrymay:
    First, to get that trash emptied, shut the mac down and then re-boot.
    Your space should return to normal.
    As far as OneStep goes...I am not a big fan. Perhaps your best bet is to create and save an idvd project as a disk image. Read this from Len Goff (iDVD Guru):
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Menu Buttons Change Image instead of Highlighting?

    Does anyone know how to/or if it's possible to make a DVD menu in Photoshop for Encore where, when the menu button is highlighted it actually changes image instead of making it a solid highlighted colour?
    For example...
    In a DVD i'm making, I have Cartoon images that are the menu buttons. I would like to make it so that when you select it on your dvd player it makes the eyes open up wider and mouths of the characters open up. I have made the duplicate layers and changed one to have the open eyes and mouth and placed it directly ontop of the other and put both layers in the one group with the (+) to allow Encore to recognize it. But all I get is the top layer of the two turning to a top colour. I know that using prefixes like (=1) makes it highlighted and that is why it's highlighting but I don't know what else to suggest. I've looked at the prefixes on the Encore help on this site and tried to work it out but no luck
    I know this is due to my lack of knowledge and really need some help to fix it, or know if it's even possible (I assume tht using such great products as Adobe it will be)
    Thanx

    Welcome to the forum.
    This is easily done by doing dupe Menus for each Button. The Button on the original Menu will be set to Auto-Activate, and be linked to the dupe Menu with the different graphic. I would probably turn OFF Sub-picture Highlights.
    The trick is to do a layout, and also name your Menus (especially the dupes), to reflect exactly what they do. I use Illustrator for my layout, but pencil and paper work well too.
    Note: if run on a computer, the user will need to Dbl-click the Button, as Auto-Activate only works seamlessly from a DVD set-top player.
    There are several other posts on this forum (a few very recent), where I go into much more detail. Also, Jeff Bellune's excellent book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, by Focal Press, has excellent, easy to follow steps for doing this. Though written for EncoreDVD 2.0, 100% of the book will apply to CS3 & CS4.
    Good luck,

  • Trouble with short still image durations

    I know this is probably stupid and something simple I'm missing ...
    I have a series of digital stills that I can import to the timeline etc etc
    but
    I cannot find anyway to make the duration of each less than one second. Even if I enter less, it defaults back to one second. I need these to fire one after another really quickly.
    TIA

    The still image duration is set by whatever you entered in FCP's preferences. Change the preference setting to whatever duration you need, then import the images into your project and drop them on the Timeline.

  • Image duration problem

    Hi, I have a problem with image duration in Motion 5. I want change duration to 0.50, but it doesn't works! Knows anyone someway how can I edit? I need it for my stop-motion animation. I've about 400 photos...

    You import them as an image sequence - name them sequentially, e.g. picture001, picture002, etc. and they will show up in the File Browser as a single file, and they will come in as a movie with one image per frame. This is completely separate from setting a still image duration.

  • How to change the duration of multiple paint strokes

    Hello everyone! Newbie here.
    I should've set the paint properties to first frame instead of constant. Where properties of multiple clone stamps are easily modified at once, the duration shows as a percentage and so I can't figure out how to reset the duration to the first frame of the clone stamps.
    I should've read the paint chapter of the After Effects manual before I made a mess but I haven't found my answer there.
    I'll also appreciate any suggestions for scratches and noise removal filters.
    Thank your for your help!
