  Proportionnaly adjusting the length of multiple clips

  Posted by Jules Gobeil on December 20, 2007 at 5:56 pm

  In PP1.5, how can I adjust the length of multiple still clips so that all are shortened by the same percentage.
  Example: shortening 50 JPG clips of different lengths from 500 seconds overall to 400 seconds so that each is reduced by 20%.
  Probably easy, but I can’t find how to do it. Thanks

  Well sort of;
  Open a new empty sequence and then drag the sequence icon for your pics from the project window into the new sequence and right click on it and choose Duration/Speed.
  As I do tons of pics to DVD, I find ProShow Producer a lot easier to work with.

  Thanks Mike,
  It works but it means I must be done modifying the sequence because now the images are all bundled into one. Thanks for the info.

  I’d do one of two things:
  1. If the sequence needs to be shortened I’d nest the seq and then alter the speed of the whole thing.
  2a. Go into the Edit> Preferences> Still Length to the actuall frame count you want based on your project’s fps. Use a calc.
  2b. Import the still agian, they will all come in at the adjusted length. Select them in the order you want them to cut together and then hit the overlay button (.) to place them into another seq.

  Both of you were suggesting the same procedure in different words. I did just that and it worked fine. Many thanks for your help.
