picture duration

[Philippe Gosselin]

Go to

Options
-Preference
–Editing Tab
—Go to “New still image length”

Enter the desired duration, click apply and your done!

If you jpegs are already on the timeline you won’t see any changes, simply delete them and drop them back onto the timeline

[Andrew Lenczycki]

Also note that if you want the pictures to be overlapped automatically so they fade out while the next picture fades in, you can change the OptionsPreferencesEditing then select the checkbox Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added, then change the Cut-to-overlap conversion (seconds) value to whatever you want the transition fadeout/in to be. Press the Apply button at the bottom of the dialog box, then the OK button.
Note that this won’t work on media currently on your timeline, only on media added after you make this change. You also will need to select the pictures to be added as a group (using the Shift-Left Click and/or Ctrl-Left Click) rather than individually one at a time.
