    Hi people

    I have stack of graphic overlays, that i would like to make 6 seconds in length. Is there an easy way to trim them so that there are this length.

    Furthermore, i would like them all to have a 10 frame dissolve/fade at the end of each clip. Can this be done in one go also, or is this an item by item case by dragging on the transition to the end of each clip.

    Thanks for any assistance.

    Max,

    you can import all of the graphics in at a six second length if you go to user preferences and change the import still length to six seconds. (Sorry not in front of my system right now, so don’t know exactly what it’s called, but it’s right there in user prefs.) As for the fade, I’m not sure if there is a function to add to multiple clips at once, but you can create a 10 frame fade and set it as your favorite then roll through a pretty quick copy paste at the tail of each graphic.

    Best

    Thanks Josh, but all my graphics are rendered to a single file (11 mins long).

    In my edit, I have just gone through that file and found each inpoint and quickly tried to take 6 seconds of each 15sec graphic. So on my timeline, these graphics are all between 5 and 7 seconds, and i just want to tidy them up by making them all 6 seconds.

    Thanks
