Before adding the pictures to the timeline, you can change the default setting of duration. Go to OPTIONS, PREFRENCES, tab EDITING and fill the required duration for NEW STILL IMAGE LENGTH.
If the images are already on the timeline, the only way to change duration time is by doing this by hand or by using a script. Scripts can save you a lot of time when you are working with large amounts of pictures.

I just realised that cropping in the pan/crop tool of vegas will increase the ‘invisible’ part of the event with pictures. You better adjust the size of this event to the Vegas project properties in photoshop.

I think that the ‘invisible’ part of the page is just a part of the background that you can crop:

To make a more realistic book, I think you have to do someting more, like creating a hard-cover, the left side of the book where the pages are connected (I don’t know how you would call that in English)
use a littlebit of 3D spacing and play with lighting and shadow etc.
You can find many examples of this on the internet, e.g. here:

If I look right to your picture, the lower track contains an empty background and the upper track contains the same background, but now with pictures and page-peels. And the upper track has been reduced in size. If you reduce the size in the track motion of the upper track, the pagepeel should only be visible on the reduced picture (see my picture).

It looks like that the size of your background file doesn’t match the project size.
Can you just upload your background file?Theo

The problem with the sony page-peels is that the backsite op the pages contains the same image. The same holds true for the pixelan page peels. I don’t know how the NewBlue pagepeels are doing in this respect, but Boris FX has page-peels where you can place different images (or videos) on both sites of a page. This is ofcourse much more realistic.
To try, you can download the trial version of Boris FX.https://www.borisfx.com/downloads/

I think you can do this on many ways. A simple and quick way is to use two video tracks. Place the pictures on the top track with the page peel in between them. In the track below, you can place the background.
Use the track motion to make the pages at the top track at the right size. You can also place the pages in 3D in track motion. That should do it.Theo

Which framerate did you use in PI?

What kind of file-type is your footage? And did you make the framegrabs as .jpg or as .bmp?
