configure length of time for photos display in iMovie for iPad?

Hi again :)

In this article:

Add video clips and photos in iMovie on iPad

https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/imovie-ipad/knac787725/2.3/ipados/14.0

according to the info on using photos in iMovie on iPad,

amongst video clips in the timeline, it seems that:

"The added photo appears for a duration of 3 to 6 seconds,

depending on the length of the transitions that appear before and after the photo,

but you can shorten or extend the duration using trim handles"

So, could be no controls on timing in iPad's iMovie because iMovie does it using the trim handles ?

Hi rick7,

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Apple support have an article online that may help you with timing,

and working with the "inspector" window..

Hope this helps :)

Sorry, I'm more familiar with the settings in iMovie on Mac.

You may be able to adjust the number of frames played back per second ?

• a high frame rate appears to play back in slow motion,
• a low frame rate appears to play faster than real time
• a normal frame rate would be around 30 frames per second (fps)

In the Photos app the frame rate is more like a few seconds per frame ... instead of frames per second.

PS

Another simple way to keep a still picture on view longer in the timeline is:

just keep adding copies / duplicates of that picture in the timeline for the duration you want.

Cheers :)

You're welcome!

So glad you solved the situation, and learned that skill.

Happy times creating!

Cheers :)
