Changing the Duration of multiple clips/Gee I thought I knew how?!

Okay folks. I have a group of pictures on the timelime. I need to shorten the duration of all clips. I highlighted the clips, control+click on one of the clips--navigated to duration.
When I change the duration, the computer beeps and returns the time to the orginal clip length of 10:00. I can change an individual clip in this manner but not the whole timeline.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

Never Mind. I had a sequence in my list of clips. Took it out and that solved the problem. Sorry.
Thanks anyway.

How do change the duration of multiple clips with timestreach?

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
Let us assume Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for the purpose of an example.
1. Select all the clip on the Timeline (all at one time) that are being targeted for same duration change.
2. Right click anywhere in the selection, select Time Stretch, and, then in the Time Stretch dialog, change the duration 00;00;0O;00. (hours; minutes; seconds; frames).
Do you have one of those versions that I mentioned, making sure to select all the involved clips ahead of time before going
after Time Stretch?
Selections
If you want all the clips on the Timeline, then Edit Menu/Select All
or
Hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard, and, with the mouse cursor, click on each of the clips to be involved in this duration change
or
With the mouse cursor, draw a rectangle around the clips to go into the selection in order to select them
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Any way to change the duration of multiple clips in the timeline at once?

Can you manually drag back and forth with the handles on the timeline? Appreciate it.

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2? I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new 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!

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.

Changing the duration of layer clip on timeline

Hi,
I am experimenting with placing layers on the timeline of photoshop. I would like to change the duration of the layers as they appear on the timeline. The tutorials indicate that that right clicking on the clip will bring up a context menu that allows you to change various aspects of the clip and associated audio (if any). Right clicking of the layer in the timeline does not invoke the context menu indicated in the tutorials, rather a motion context menu. Is there a way to change the duration of layers in the timeline other than adjusting the length by hand for each clip?
Thanks.

Very similar shortcuts; Control-P moves the playhead.

How do you change the volume for multiple clips in one go?

Hi all,
Im having some trouble with audio. Im posting this in a rush so sorry in advance if its a bit muddled! Im editing snow reports with a journo piece to camera (track one lapel microphone) with overlay (track two nat sound ).
1. is there a way to only bring in track one only and track two only from the source monitor?
2. Is it possible to adjust the volume on multiple clips that are on the timeline (so that i can bring down the nat sound for all of the overlay track two)
At the moment im bringing them into the timeline and adjusting them individually. I tried lowering the volume on one clip and saving it as a preset but it wont let me.
your help is greatly appreciated
Paul

Duplicate the audio once editing is done. In the Mixer window, apply the Fill Left effect to one audio track, and the Fill Right effect to the other. Then adjust the mixer appropriately.

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!!

How do I change the duration of all clips/ photos to under 00:00:03?

I am making a movie from images that were rendered with Maya, a 3D software.
When I import lets say 50 images , they all come in with a duration of 5 seconds each .
I figured out how to slow down their duration to 00:00:03
but I want them all to be 00:00:01, meaning, 1 frame per image, 30 images a second.
imovieHD only allowed me to reduce the photo to have a duration of 3 frames , no less!
How do I reduce the duration of all my photos to 1 frame or a 30th of a second?
Please help!

you posted in the iMHD section of this board.. which is vers. 5 (five).. you're using vers5 with 10.5. ?
in iMHD(5), project has to be DV or any other, but not iSight/mpeg4..
import one pic into timeline, uncheck KB, doubleclick the clip and set its duration to 00:00:00:01 .. following imports adopt these settings
in iM08/09 (I assume, that is your version...) 3 frames is shortest.
you need other apps to accomplish your task, QTpro, FramebyFrame, iStopmotion etc ..

Change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Here's my situation:
I have a song at 127 BPM. I have a music video (muted sound) at 125 BPM.
I've spent a long time slicing up clips from the video into different channels and muliple clips to form one timeline (but with many clips and channels lined up).
I now want to change the overall duration of the video clip to match the BPM of the song (which I should have done in the first place), but the video is, as previously stated, sliced up in mulitple clips in multiple channels. How can I change the duration of all clips at one time, where the end and start of the clips still line up to eachother?
This would've been incredibly easy if there were a un-nesting feature. Where I can nest multiple clips, change the duration, and un-nest the clips to slices clips with a changed overall duration. (Which is not possible. Yes, I can drag the clips out of the nested clip, but the clips will still have the original duration).
TL;DR: How can I change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Never mind. I've found a alternate solution. I used a time stretch calculator at http://mp3.deepsound.net/eng/samples_calculs.php and time stretched all the clips to match the BPM of the song. Now I only need to snap all the clips, which can be done one by one, but I found this trick to snap all the clips at once: http://vimeo.com/27428526.
I'll just let this thread stay open so other with the same problem can find this

Change duration of multiple clips

Is there a way to change the duration of multiple still photos at the same time (rather than doing it one-photo-at-a-time), without changing the zoom levels and Ken Burns effect that has been applied to some of the photos?

O.k, I know what happened with my test project. My photos all had the same zoom setting. My Ken Burns photos all had the same zoom setting as well, a pan from left to right like train cars moving past, that I cribbed from another project to do the test. Since the zoom settings and KB effects were all the same to start with, I couln't tell that they all were being conformed to the settings of the first photo when I changed the duration. Sorry.
Looks like you'll have to just brew a pot of coffee and start the tedious task. But there might be some groups of photos that have the same zoom levels, and you can use my suggested procedure to change the duration of those as a group.

How do you edit the duration of multiple still images?

FCP X has a default duration for still images when you import them. After importing, how can I edit the duration of multiple clips?
I've tried selecting them all, control-click and change duration, but nothing changes.
BTW I want to make them 5 frames each...
thanks for any help
Craig

Thanks Tom, I've tried that. and nothing happens.
I presume that I type the 5 in the number sequence thing above the timeline?

When I adjust the duration of a clip or transaction, iMovie automatically adjusts the duration of another clip; how can I shut this feature off?

In iMovie when I adjust the duration of a photo clip or transaction, iMovie automatically changes the duration of another clip; how can I shut this feature off?

Ok, well you won't get a "speed scale" indicator when editing a title clip. You can only adjust duration. Now, is there music attached to the title clip? Are you adjusting the TITLE TEXT box ONLY? Try adjusting the clip BELOW Title Text box 1st, then Title Text clip. Is the Title attached to your own video OR is it one of iMovie's default Titles??

Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once?

Hi all,
I'm working with good old Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once? If I have a large group of clips in my timeline that are all the same duration, once I've selected them all in a group, can I somehow change the frame number duration of all the clips at the same time?
I've found other things that can be done to a group of clips at the same time, but I can't find a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips.
Thanks,
digi

Thanks Jim and Bill,
In my efforts to work around the problems with the distortion and horizontal interlace lines that come when using the Motion Settings, I'm doing stop frame animation with hundreds and hundreds of layers in PSDs in multiple files placed in hundreds of one, four and six frame sections in Premiere, so if I find that I need to change the number of frames per clip in hundreds of consecutive clips (not actual duration of speed changes), then I need to pull out the right side of hundreds of frames after first moving them apart enough to allow for changing them if I'm making them longer.
These animations are different from the rotating reel animations in that they are for laterally moving subjects that are long streams of moving graphics and photos.
I read about "clip nesting", but I think that only applies to clips or groups of clips that are the same, whereas my clips are each from different imported layers times 125 or so, consecutively placed one after another to create the laterally moving stop frame animation.
Now I've tried johnbmx4christ's alternate method of creating rotations that was just posted on the other thread about the rotation distortion, but that method results in the same oblong distortion and messed up looking horizontal interlace lines.
What a can of worms.
Thanks,
digi
