Hi all

Brand new user of Movie Studio. My question is, is there a way to select all of the photos in the video at once, and change the times so they are consistent, without having to do each one individually?

I am in a time crunch as the training video I need in 2 1/2 days has to be redone due to compatibility issues.

TIA

Thank you! I guess I had been searching the wrong forums.

If your stills have different lengths on the timeline, you may want to use the Slideshow Creator (see Insert Menu) and Create (to another track) with customized Settings.

How would I do that? I tried to start a new project and copy and paste with new defaults, but it didn't work. I tried the select all, group and control and move end of last slide, didn't work. I already have the pics ordered in the timeline and I can't seem to copy and paste them into the slideshow area.

@Angelred (sorry for not getting back on this sooner, I was disconnected for a while)

The first option mentioned in musicvid's link above (leading to Chienworks's comment) and explained in detail in the thread you also posted in "does work" in MS 14 Platinum. You see "Time Stretch" to Ctrl+drag. (Disclaimer: I don't have the basic MS to test, but the Movie Studio product line comparison table says it includes Event grouping)

As for the second option, you need a workaround. Save (=save as) your project (Target: a new folder you create wherever you like) and choose to "Copy (source) media with project". You can add your project media files from there to Slideshow Creator and proceed.

(The VASST FasstApps plugin StillMotion could use Timeline (or Media Bin) as Image Source, but it's not currently working in MSP 14 or even available to purchase.)
