    Was wondering if there is a quick way to tile the pics in the timeline automatically?

    Say when you drag in 25 pics and you get something like this:

    ie – lots of pics with a fade in / out behaviour, but as default they’re all set to play at the same time…

    usually i’d drag them manually, one after the other.. but was wondering if theres some kinda shortcut you could use here. I keep thinking there must be, but it eludes me…

    anyone got any idea?

    Sure. Drag all the images to the mini-Timeline, and wait a beat. From the menu that pops up, choose Sequential.

    Each picture will last for the duration you have set in preferences.
