Multiple still images imported (how to change timing AND do multiple transitions)

I imported into the project resources many still photos.  The defaut time for each seems to be 5.1 second.  If I drag them into the timeline, select them all and change the duration there are time gaps between images...how can I scrunch them together easily OR how can I change the default time duration before I drag them to the timeline?
Second...if I have all my photos on a timeline can I set the transition effect on more than two at a time?  Can I set the transition for all of them at once (a different query)
Thanks,  -bill

When you've selected your still and used the Speed/Duration command, be sure to tick the "Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips" option in the panel. That will remove any empty space between clips that would otherwise be generated when decreasing the duration of your clips.
Second...if I have all my photos on a timeline can I set the transition effect on more than two at a time?  Can I set the transition for all of them at once (a different query)
Yes, though there are two preliminary steps. First, in the Effects panel click the flyout button (that stack of pancakes with the little downward facing arrow) or go to Edit > Preferences > General and select the Default Transition Duration option and change it to your desired setting. Second, in the Effects panel, select the transition you want and right-click it and select "Set Selected as Default Transition".
Now, select your clips/stills in the timeline and go to Sequence > Apply Default Transitions to Selection; the transition you just set up will be applied to all of your clips. Note that, by default, this will add audio transitions as well, if you're using combined video/audio clips (probably not a worry in your case as you're using stills), but you can hold down the Alt key to select just the video or just the audio portions of your clips, if you only want one transition type or the other. You can also temporarily lock any tracks where you don't want transitions before you use the command.
Also, since you're working with stills, you don't have to worry about handles; if you import a still into Premiere, even if its duration is only a single frame, you have an indefinite/infinite amount of frames to use for editing and transition purposes. Video/audio clips are a different story, of course...

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 7 - Selecting Multiple Still Images for Time Stretch

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Premiere Elemetns 7. I would like to be able to select multiple still images on the timeline so that I can timestretch them all at the same time.
    I understand that you can do this when you drag the photos over to the sceneline, then get the dialog box that asks for the time duration or transition duration. I would like to do this after they have been placed on the timeline though.
    I would like to put say an hour of music on the music line, then drag over say 400 photos, then timestretch the photos such that thier time matches the music timeline. Smartsound does not seem to find the music on my computer to do this, I would like to use my own music.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Tonight why don't you download the free 30 tryout of Premiere Elements 8, check out the feature of interest in particular, and determine if it is worth it. Check out it's stability in your computer environment. You do not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 7. When you install Premiere Elements 8, the installation process detects prior versions and tells you that you do not have to uninstall them, just use one at a time.
    Depending on how things go, get on the phone to Adobe Customer Service Monday morning and be pleasant but determined, express your need for the new feature(s), and request an exchange, the new for the old. As a last resort, request your money back for version 7.
    Please update us on your progress. But, in the back of your mind, keep the old thought of "be careful what you wish for". You may win one with the duration feature but lose some ground with stability and other features.

  • How do i get a still image to fade the same way and at the same time as a video?

    I have a video stacked on top of a still image. When i add a transition, the still turns to a black screen while the video fades in accordance to the transition. How do i get the still image to fade the same way and at the same time as the video?

    I do. I've applied it to both the  still image and the video. Say i used the lens flare transition. If i apply it to both the video and the still image, the video will dissolve in to the next frame, but the still image will go to a black screen and then jump to the next frame. Its almost as if i inserted a black frame instead of a transition, but only for 2 seconds. Below is kind of a peek what it looks like.

    Hi,
    Here is the way i followed to change SGA and PGA in RAC.
    Action Plan to change the memory parameter in the production environment(5/21/2010)
    Note:
    =====
    Practice should be done in the DEV/TST environment before moving to Production;
    Although the procedure could be applied in the testing environment the changing values
    used in the testing environment should be modified since RAM number are not the
    same between the testing servers and production servers.
    1.     Make changes to these two parameters in one of
         the prod instance, e.g. PROD1
         ====================================================
         login as sysdba on sqlplus
    Change :
    alter system set sga_target=28G scope=spfile sid='*';
    Change :
    alter system set pga_aggregate_target=4G scope =spfile sid='*';
         sql>alter system set pga_aggregate_target=4G scope=both;
         sql>show parameter pga_aggregate_target;      
              -- should see the altered number on both instances
    Change:
    sql>alter system set sga_max_size=28G scope=spfile sid='*';
    sql>alter system set sga_max_size=28G scope=spfile ;
    sql>alter system set sga_target=28G scope=spfile;
    3.     shutdown database PROD (two instances should be shut down)
         $>srvctl stop database -d PROD
         $>. /$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crs_stat -- to check for the database status
    4.     bring up database PROD (two instance should be brought up)
         $>srvctl START database -d PROD
         $>. /$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crs_stat -- to check for the database status
         login into both instances as sysdba to check
         sql>show parameter pga_aggregate_target
         sql>show parameter sga_max_size
              -- should see the altered number still there in both instances
              -- from step 1
         -- After confirming above two parameters are altered on both instances,
         -- then issue the syntax below in one instance
    5)     check everything is ok

  • In windows how do we install and activite multiple versions of tuxedo at the same time ?

    Hi All,
    In windows how do we install and activate multiple versions of tuxedo at the same time ?
    Advance wishes

    You can run different versions of Tuxedo on the same server, as long as they are installed in different directories.
    See PeopleTools 8.53 installation manual Task 3-1: Installing Oracle Tuxedo
    You can install Oracle Tuxedo once for each release on a machine, regardless of the number of PeopleSoft
    applications or databases the server supports. For example, if you are a PeopleSoft 9.1 customer and have
    Oracle Tuxedo 6.5 installed, you may install Oracle Tuxedo 6.5 and Oracle Tuxedo 11gR1 on the same
    machine in separate directories. For example:
    On Windows, you may install into C:\oracle\tuxedo11gR1_VS2010 and C:\tux65.
    On UNIX, you may install into /home/oracle/tuxedo11gR1 and /prod/tuxedo/6.5.

  • I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the albums still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music?

    I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the album artwork still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music?  Also my iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone under the "devices" tab so I am unable to manually sync. I have disconnected it makes a beep sound when reconnected so I know my computer is finding the phone, the iPhone also appears on Explorer. Stupid question but I can't figure it out and wasting too much time.  Thank you.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
    When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
    "Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
    Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.

  • 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?

  • Change duration of multiple still images in one operation

    Hello Folks.
    I am trying to change the duration of each image in a sequence of still images.
    Program: Adobe Premiere Elements 7
    Mode: Standard Definition 4/3 ratio
    File types in use: MOD, AVI, PNG
    Problem: The product manual states: "To apply the new default length to all still images in your project, delete them from Project view and reimport them into your project."
    Question: Is there a way to select a group of still images and then apply a new duration value to all of them in one operation?  An Adobe salesperson told me that this is possble before I purchased the program, but I cannot figure out how this is done. I switched to Adobe from another product in order to get this feature. Now that I need it, I cannot figure a way to get it to work. Time Stretch is not available when I select multiple images.
    Thank you,
    Brian

    Brian,
    Unfortunately not. PrPro CS4.2 has just added a way to change the Duration of previously Imported stills, but so far PrE does not allow for this, unless it is new to PrE 8, but I have not read of this.
    As noted, the method is to set the Edit>Preferences>General>Default Stills, and choose the Duration in Frames. Then Import the stills. If they are in the Project, that setting has already been applied, so one must delete them from the Project Panel and re-Import them with the new Duration.
    Now, one can obviously change the Duration on a one-by-one basis in the Timeline, but that can be tedious, if there are many stills. If I were doing this, I would make sure to have the Info Panel open and nearby, Window>Info.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - if PrE 8 HAS added the post-Import Duration change, I hope someone steps up with that info.

  • Change Duration of Multiple Still Images - No Ripple

    New to FCP X -- still trying to figure things out.  I have a bunch of still images that were put into timeline -- all 10 seconds.  I was changing the duration of groups of them within the timeline and everything was going great...timeline would ripple down after shortinging the duration. 
    But for no apparent reason...things changed and now changing the duration only shortens each one but doesn't ripple the rest of the timeline down (see pic).
    Can anyone explain how to fix this?  I've been trying to fix it for awhile now and getting nowhere.  Thanks in advance.

    Hello I tried changing the duration of multiple stills when music was already added and I got this. Is there any way of avoiding this, perhaps by desyncing the audio from the image first perhaps? Thanks

  • 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!!
