    hi there

    sorry for the dumb question….but i cant seem to find where you can change how long a jpeg lasts when brough in a sequence. i guess the defualt is 1 frame, but if i wanted it at 3 frames each where would i go?

    thanks alot!

    I think the easiest is to just Time Stretch that layer 300%, then each image will be three frames long.

    Select the layer, Layer>Time Stretch, or double click those two Little back to back triangles at the bottom of the timeline.

    If you want to make this adjustment to ALL of the JPEGs in the sequence then you should select the image sequence in your project and hit cmd+f (ctrl+f on PC) to bring up the Interpret Footage dialog, then change the Frame Rate of the image sequence from something like 30fps (default for most) to 10fps.
