Help! Is there a FinalCut application or function where I can uniformly extend the duration of all my stills and cross-dissolves?

I am working in FinalCut 7.0.3 to build a slideshow from still images that will be projected in a gallery space. I have built a test presentation with still images joined by cross dissolves. All the stills run for 10 seconds and the cross-dissolves for 2 seconds--but the pace is too rapid. Is there a function I can apply to make all the stills and transitions run at an increased duration? Or do I have to piecemeal increase each segment and dissolve? Just will take a long time!

No way to globally change stills.
This is what I'd do.
• fiddle with a few slides in the existing timeline to figure out how long the stills should display and how long the transition should be.
• create a new sequence
• delete all the slides from your FCP browser
• go into FCP User settings and set the default still image duration to the length of time you determined earlier
• reimport all the slides
• put them on your new timeline - (they will now have the new duration)
• go to the Effects tab and find your transition and change the duration to what you determined earlier.
• right click on the transition name and set it to Default Transition
• in the timeline, select all the slides the "command" + T. This will apply the default transtion to all the slides.
Best,
x
