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!

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.

  • 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!

  • How do change the duration of multiple clips with timestreach?

    All of the options are grayed out.

    AdminID
    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.

  • How do change the timeline view in PE9 to see all frames?

    In PE9 I notice that many frames in timeline view appear blank. at the clip transitions the frame have images.   How do I change this to see all the frames?  In PE 2 I never had the "feature".  I assume that most are blank to reduce file handling,etc.   But I'd like to toggle the frame images on/off on command.
    p.s.  when I imported a short 8 munutes series of clips direct from my HD sony camera the timeline frames were complete... but most video i'm using is old anlaog tape conversions to DVD...than dvd files imported for PE editing.
    thanks

    I was only half-correct. In PrPro, there is a drop-down menu, while in PrE, it's a toggle through the three possible display states:

  • Is it possible to change the duration of the timeline in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

    I'm used to working on Avid systems where the length of the timeline is determined by the last asset in the timeline, where it ends. I'm editing commercials and don't need or want a 10 minute timeline. Does anyone know how to change the duration of the timeline, like you can in After Effects? I've tried everything I can think of and It seems like it is not possible.... Thanks!

    Now, if you are seeing a Duration for your Timeline, that is longer than what you "anticipate" with your Assets on it, then you could well have an "Orphan," out beyond the anticipated end. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
    Good luck,

  • How can I change the duration of stills on Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello everyone.
    I need to change the duration of stills and I'm having a hard time doing that. I'm not interested in changing the default setting. The stills need different times, so I need to be able to manually alter the duration of each clip. Does anyone know how to do this?

  • On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    You can set the default duration of stills but you have to do it before you start the project. 
    iMovie is not really suitable for stop motion videos and iMovie 10 is worse than iMovie 9 because the minimum still duration is not really controllable as you have found.   I don't have experience of making such videos but there are 3rd party apps which appear more suited to this, for example http://www.macworld.com/article/1146623/stop_motion_Mac.html
    mentions some of them, though its a bit old and you may be able to find more up to date information.

  • 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 to change the clip's duration under imovie 10.0.3?

    How to change the clip's duration under imovie 10.0.3?

    This is a new feature introduced in 10.0.3 which works fine for me.  The old way was to select Modify - Fast Forward.  You can only select certain speed ratios but a slider should appear near the top of the clip which allows finer speed adjustment.  have you tried this?

  • 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.

    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.
