Changing multiple still durations in timeline

I think I am missing something real simple here.


Trying to change the duration of multiple stills in timeline. I select multiple stills in timeline, click control D, go to the time window and enter 2.00 hoping to change each still to 2 sec. Hit enter and nothing changes but the curser goes to the 2 sec mark on the time line.


Also, in preferences I have the duration set to 2 sec. for stills. When I drag individual clips into the timeline they are 2 sec long. When dragging multiple clips into the timeline they are 10 sec long. Can I drag multiple clips into the timeline and have them all be the still duration set in preferences?


Thank you! Andy

"go to the time window"


I think something wrong is happening here. Simply press Control-D and type 2 period. You don't have to go anywhere.


Unfortunately the two second preference is for a selection, so unless you make a selection in each clip, the stills come with with their full duration of 10 seconds.


Use feedback to a request a change in this behavior.
