    Luckily I knew this was only a glitch and continued amassing my libraries at sunset into the night. I’m processing these files now and seeing things described online but something I can reproduce and physically verify.

    Clear sailing indeed, only with the horizon in sight!

    I suddenly like FCPX again, but geez is it touchy.

    The problem was quite simple. After selecting all the photos in the timeline, I clicked in the viewer window, which is incorrect. All that is needed is to hit ctrl D and type the number 1 and hit enter.

    Problem solved!

    Thanks to all for timely responses and help.

    Yes, it doesn’t work there either. Thanks for this question, still on hold…

    So your right, Apple had me uninstall/reinstall FCPX and that didn’t work either. I’m on hold again right now for further advice from Apple.

    This program has quite limited functionality for me at the moment.

    Yup, thanks been doing that over and over and over. Will post results from Apple support.

    Ok thanks, I do the same with Cmd A. It looked like you changed duration of just one photo then it magically was applied to them all. Hopefully I can get this cleared up with Apple support in a half hour or so.

    I see the duration was changed and all of the photos on the timeline changed width to a smaller size to reflect that. I am not getting this. Also, I see you change the 4 sec interval in the viewer to 1 sec, which I do but I didn’t see that you selected all of the photos in the timeline before doing that.

    Again thanks for the help, and I apologize for the frustration but it really shouldn’t be this hard. This is pretty basic stuff after all. Maybe I should go back to iMovie or just give up and accept the loss.

    Hmm, wonder why you can’t search FCPX for delete preferences and get an answer? Maybe the program is not very good?

    Anyways, thanks for that google search. I reset preferences according to those instructions and it had no effect.

    Slo mo at 12000% is choppy and seems to change exposure for some reason. Not usable at all. Looking like I need to buy Adobe and pay subscription prices just to get slo mo.

    Crazy.

    I did a search in FCPX for “delete preferences” and of course got no hits. How do I delete preferences?

    I was able to get a choppy slo mo video by changing all the photos to a compound clip and using custom speed in the retime menu to 12000% (twelve thousand percent). Not exactly the result I’m looking for!

    So I did everything you said with the timeline index and it didn’t work.

    I have selected all the stills and changed them into a compound clip, but playback even at 20x in the viewer is too slow. How do I speed it up further?

    It would be desirable to know how to change duration of these stills. Thanks for trying to help me. I will post the results of my conversation with Apple support.
