Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default Shortening picture display time once inserted...

Hi all!

I just chose a set of pictures to include in my timeline, and the default display time is 5sec.

I'm still coming up a little long on time and don't really want to thin the pack out any more.

Is there a way to adjust/shorten the display time for a selected set of pictures in a timeline without having to edit each individually? Already tried grouping.

Thanks!
Craig

You were nearly there too.

1] Group

2] Hold Down Ctrl and GRAB end of group with your LEFT mouse button and "Squash" Group by moving Mouse cursor to centre of the new Group - I've just done this to 5-sec stills and reduced all to 1-sec stills

It would appear this might be a 5:1 ratio, if you want something smaller than 1 sec then you'd need another approach. Maybe a "Nest" using a velocity envelope PLUS this method? Or the use of a script. But if this 5:1 ratio is fine, then you are good to go.

Yup, that'll do it... And here I was CTRL-grabbing the right end of the timeline and getting nowhere. <rolls eyes>

Stoopid learning curve.

Many thanks,
Craig
