Good day.

In timeline have several photos with 5 seconds duration:

1) Can I reduce or increase 1 second in duration of all the photos with a single action?

Thank you.

elscybe,

This can be accomplished pretty easy. Since you already have your photos on the timeline it is just a matter of "selecting" all of your photos.

One way you can select all of them is by clicking on the first photo on the timeline; then press and hold the "shift" key and click on the last photo. They should all be selected at this time.(make sure you see a blue outline around each photo, which indicates all are selected).

Now you should see the word "duration" on the line right above your photos. Click on it and you should be able to adjust the duration for every photo to any amount of time that you would like. (of course each photo will have the same duration time.)

Also you can preset the duration for a project before placing your photos on the timeline. This can be accomplished by making a change in your preferences.

Look at the top of your window for PD and you should see a little symbol that looks like a gear. Click on that. Look on the left for the "editing" tab. Click on that and once it opens you should see down at the lower part "duration". Set it to what you would like.

Please be advised this is your new default setting for duration and all future duration times will be this unless you change it.

Hope this helps and I am sure if there is a better or easier way to accomplish this someone else will provide you with the information.

Dannie - you got it pretty well covered! But just a little to add to what you stated.

After all the images(photos) are all highlighted -

- I right click on one of the highlighted images - then I select "Select Clip Attributes" ... then select "Set Duration". Then you can either type in a number - after you have selected (highlighted) the minutes/seconds/frames 'field' (in the little pop up window) - and hit return.... OR

... you can select one of those fields mentioned and hit the up or down arrow and the numbers in the field will incrementally go up or down.

And if the clips aren't all contiguous on the timeline, you can Control_LeftClick (instead of Shift-LeftClick) on individual clips, then use the procedure above. Regards,
