Problem with still image duration in Final Cut Pro.

[H.Krinkle]

Hello,

I've recently become interested in time lapse photography.

This was fine in FCP; I would import all the images and put them on the timeline and select duration and set all the images for 0.5 of a second.

Recently,I find that the duration setting will allow me to go down to 1 second but if I try any lower the images all revert to 2 seconds.

I read around various forums and have tried altering the import preference for stills; user preferences- editing- still/freeze duration . . . but the same thing happens; it will not let me set below 1 second.

I have also tried deleting the FCP preferences but that did not work either.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You must import the pictures AFTER you change the settings in the still/freeze duration otherwise it will always go to the timeline with the previous value. Hope it helps.

Dear SantiagoDeSousa ,

Thanks for the reply.
I did change the settings and then import but it still will not allow me below 1 second; whatever I set the import preference to, it reverts to 2 seconds.
Any suggestions appreciated.
