    Hello!

    Vegas imports still images by default to 5 seconds, however this can be changed to any value you’d like.

    Open your preview window in Vegas. Right click in the preview window area. Select preview device preferences. Choose & click the editing tab. Change the new still image length (seconds) to your preference. For example, if you want your still image to be only 1 frame in length, adjust the value to 0.050

    Enjoy!

    I see that you images are numbered 01, 02, 03. This is good. You should load your images as an Image Sequence. Use File | Import | Media… and then select just the first image and click the box at the bottom that says Stills: [x] Open Sequence. The next window will ask you what frame rate you want to use. For example, if you want each image to be on the screen for 1/2 second select a frame rate 2 fps.

    If you want to make transitions between individual images you can use Options | Preferences | Editing and check “[X] Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added” and set the “Cut-to-overlap conversion (seconds)” to a reasonable setting based on how long you made each image. You will need to make each image at least 3 frames so that you can overlap one frame on each side.

    If you want to do this do not use the Image Sequence method that I showed you because you need to have individual image events on the timeline in order to overlap them.
