It used to be that if I imported a bunch of still images they'd go on the timeline with crossfades between them. I had to do this tonight for a client and I can't get the stills to crossfade.

I followed these instructions in the Help file:

"If you want to automatically add crossfades between events when you add them to the timeline, you can configure cut-to-overlap conversion:

a. From the Options menu, choose Preferences.

b. Click the Editing tab.

c. Select the Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added check box.

d. In the Cut-to-overlap section of the tab, type the desired fade length in the Amount (seconds) box.

For example, if you'd set the New still image length setting to 5 in the previous step and set the Amount (seconds) setting to 1, dragging three still images to the timeline would create three five-second events with one second of overlap between them."

But what happens is the stills do indeed now overlap in the last second but without any crossfades.

The project has 890 stills and I don't want to have to manually add crossfades to every one!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony
