lengthening time on stills in storyboard

KJC wrote on 3/17/2002, 10:35 AM
Does anyone have a decent method for lengthening still pics (with zomming and panning effects instilled) in a storyboard, after a project is complete. I have a 12 minute project which I want to stretch out to 15 minutes, by stetching all the stills (about 30 pics). I know there's a preference setup for still image time, but that's for importing it, not adjusting after the fact.

I have been selecting all pics to end, then moving the first pic to the right several seconds (which moves everything else with it), and then stretching the one pic back to the left to lengthen it. I do this for every pic, which is very inefficent.... of course, I then have to adjust all my other tracks (sound, media, overlays, etc,) but's that to be expected.

Any good ideas out there? Thanks.

Try selecting all the pics you want to stretch, group them, then CTRL-stretch them as a group till you get the length you want.

good idea, but you have to group them first by selecting them all and hitting 'G'. THEN you can use the CTRL + Drag trick to lengthen ALL of them at once.

I tried this but it didn't work for me. I selected all frames in the timeline. Then grouped them. Then ctrl-stretched them by grabbing the edge of the last frame and stretching... but only the last frame stretched, not each frame in the group. What did I do wrong???

It sounds like you didn't actually get them grouped.

You are right... I had "Ignore Event Grouping" checked.
