Quote When I add music to the time line, the song is f.i. 4:00 minutes.
Then I add the images to the time line and want to set the time for ALL images together to those 4:00 minutes.

But whatever I do, I can only set the time for ONE image, even after selecting them all or grouping the images first. What do I do wrong or is this not an option..?

you can set default durations in PREFERENCES - EDITING look for duations. I'm not sure if that is what you want, but in case it is. Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

I create my project first and produce it without audio. Then I go back to edit and delete everything from the timeline and place the newly created video file on the timeline and go to power tools/video speed to set the exact length I require and only then add the audio. I should add that I'm using PDR15 but I imagine it's the same in Ver16.

Thanks for your response, but it is not what I am looking for. To be exact, I produce a slideshow for a funeral. The music is a fact, the length is what it is. And during this music I want to show some pictures, fitting exactly under the music. So the easiest way to do is place the music first, then place the images and select ALL images to set duration of the total of images and make them fit exactly under the music.

But I cannot find the option to select multiple images en set the duration for those selected images in total. When I do so, it set the duration of ONE image and that is not what I need. I want to set the duration of the total of selected images..

What's the matter with the way I suggested - simple math solution.

Music 4 minutes.

Say, 20 photos

4 minutes = 240 seconds divided 20 photos = 12 seconds per photo.

Set default as described above to 12

If that's not right you'll have to be a lot more specific Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

I think PD16 does not automatically adjust to the size of the song.
What I do, I select all images in the timeline and adjust the time that will be applied to all the images (Duration button), a fine adjustment I make in just one image AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3

Thanks, I can work with your advises. Hoped that there was an option to do it without calculating, just recizing the selected material......

And what if I need 7:47 and I cannot set the time higher than 7:24? After that comes 8:00.

You can select the images in the timeline, Slideshow button, add music, Slideshow Preferences, Fit photos to music, choose a theme.
In this case the slide has the effects automatic and adjusted to the size of the music. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3

The time is not minutes:second, but it is minutes:frames. Your clip has 25 frames per second, so after 7 minutes : 24 frames there comes 8 minutes : 0 frames. Thats normal.

Ofcourse, how simple can it be... Thanks... ; But when I have a 4:00 minutes piece of music and I want 25 images below it, the duration is 9:60. How do I adjust it to that time then..?

I did not know this function, but it works fine..! Thanks..

That is the whole point of me suggesting to use the default length. It works in second only. You need 7 minutes and 24 seconds. Is that right?

So you need 444 seconds divided by the amount of photos. Use the windows calculator as the simplest way. When you have the answer go to Preferences - Edit and enter the amount in the duration of image files.

Then when you add the images to the timeline they will match your music. If because of decimal points there is a minute difference, do as playsound suggested, and adjust one of the images only Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

What if you put all your images on the timeline. However many you like. Default time 5 secs / image. No audio. Then produce. Then take the produced video/slide show back to timeline. Add audio. Go to Power tools or Action and set the video duration to the exact audio duration. Wouldn't that solve it ? No math. ____________________________________

Good tip, should also work for me. Thanks...

Only after I saw this response did I notice that you suggested the same thing. My apologies. I have learned alot from you on these forums so I probably learned that as well....at another time. LOL ____________________________________
