"Stiching" images help

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a wat to "stich" multiple images in a video timeline together?

Here is the situation:

I have about 1000 still timelapse images and I want to play them in sequence in a movie.

I select all of my images and drag them to the Video timeline. When I hit the preview play I get a nice timelapse video.

However, the only problem is, when I drag all the images to the timeline, they all have about a .5 second gap between each picture.

Aside from manually clicking on each image and dragging it right next to the previous image, is there an automated way that will insert all of my images without gaps?

I hope I explained this in a non-confusing way.

Thanks again for all of your help.

If I understand your question correctly, this may help:

Go into Options, Preferences, Editing. There you may enter:

Still Image length
If you want multiple selected medias overlapped automatically
The overlap length
The overlap allignment

Playing with theese possibilities may give you the wanted result

Just out of curiosity does anyone know what the smallest "snip" of time is in Vegas Movie Studio 8? Is this dependent on the framerate? I suppose it is but I'd like to ask the experts here. Thanks!

I believe it is 0.0000001 seconds (one ten-millionth). However, any slices of time shorter than a frame for video or shorter than a sample for audio are probably meaningless.

Save the clips in 1 folder obvi in sequence same file ext ie bmp or targa etc

when you import the media tick import sequence the box on bottom of import media

then you will get one sequenced image not multiple images which
you have to mess with

that should do it
