Dragging to timeline

I am doing a slide show. I have imported the slides to the media center, however when I try to drag the picture to the time line it does not show up. It appears something has been added to the time line but there is no picture there. If I drag multiple pics and line them up, there are black lines every 15 seconds but when I attempt to preview the slide, I get a blank screen

Whats up?

Sounds to me like you are zoomed too far out.

Pictures dragged onto the timeline have a default time of 5 seconds.
If you were zoomed in appropriately, you'd see a rectangle 5-seconds long on the timeline with your picture in it.

If you are zoomed out too far, the rectangle just appears as a thin vertical black line.

When playing, space in the timeline between events will appear black/empty.

Try using your mouse-wheel to zoom in on the black lines. Then drag-drop the images closer together on the timeline, and see if that begins to resolve your problem.

I could be wrong on all this... but thats the best impression I get based on your description.
