Adding Images to EXISTING Photo Montage…AHHH…!!!
hello…
I put together a really nice photo slide show/montage for my brother & sister-in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary (remember…some in here even helped…thanx).
Then…miraculously…my neice found another 40 photos…& they want them included an a revised slide show…to be shown tomorrow, at my brother’s birthday party.
So…I obviously need to place them into an existing TimeLine…& my question is…
1) is there a way to drag a selection rectangle around a large segment of still photos & audio…(from a certain point all the way to the end)…split that away from the overall timeline & slide it downscale (right), so as to then add 1 or more still images…AND transition FX…to the end of the untouched left section…& then slide the right section back to the left to connect…???
2) or is there a way to split the existing timeline exactly in between 2 still images…without screwing up the transition’s relationship to the open area…& add 1 or more still images…AND transition FX…in between…???
I can’t seem to edit new photos into an existing timeline without screwing up the transitions…as in…I’m not sure how to deal with those transitions in the overall process of placing in new images.
Can they be vertically moved…by themselves…to another adjacent track…then brought back in…???
There has to be an EASIER way to accomplish this…& I need to do it fast…!!!
Please help…thanx,

Enable Auto Ripple (a toolbar icon).
Click on the first event that you want to slide to the right and drag it that way as much as you want to create a big gap.
Disable Auto Ripple, add the new photos and transitions, enable Auto Ripple again, click the first image that you originally moved over, drag it back so that it overlaps, adjust the transition if needed, disable Auto Ripple, play it through to check for errors and make your DVD.
Enjoy the anniversary party and their thanks for the slide show. -
thanx mike…!!!…
the ripple edit thing did the trick…
…BUT…
…after I would reconnect everything…
…where the NEW image met the untouched left section…
…I could not add a transition between those two.
I even pulled the crossfade half to the end of the left clip (which had been half of a transition)…
…but it still didn’t work. thought that was weird. to finish the slide show, I had to just do a manual crossfade between those two…every time I added a new image…between that new image & the original image to it’s left.

Did you skip the part where I said “drag it back so that it overlaps”?
“every time I added a new image…between that new image & the original image to it’s left.”
You forgot to disable Auto Ripple.
