    Posted by Mark Prebonich on May 23, 2010 at 8:10 pm

    I have already placed multiple pictures on the timeline and gone thru and added pan/crop effects and fx effects. I found a different song that is of a different length that I would like to play the pictures with. Is there a way to adjust the length of all of the photos at once in order to make the entire collection the proper length? Thanks.

    Click the first image on the timeline, go to the end and Shift+click the last one and press ‘G’ to group the all together.
    Place the cursor at the end of the last image, hold down the Ctrl key (the cursor should change from a rectangle to a rectangle with a ~ under it) and drag it to the desired length.

    Thanks Mike for the help. I just got done resizing the picture montage and it worked great. 2 full songs to the project and all of the pictures are just the right length.

    Another related question Mike if you don’t mind. How do I adjust the transition times between the photos for the entire group? I would like to keep them all the same. Thanks

    Scripting tools like https://vegasaur.com/quick-properties (that I use) solve this issue with ease.

    Mark, Aleksey is correct in that a script is needed to do what you want to do as this isn’t a function that’s available in Vegas by itself.
    BTW, I’m glad to hear that my suggestion worked for you.
    I do a lot of slide shows and use this technique a lot.
