Video import to slideshow

when i put my GoPro vedos in slide slow they lag or don't play. Never used to do that but i did change some settings on GoPro is there max FPS or resolution that I should be aware of? BTW the videos work fine in Photo on their own they just crap out when they are placed within slideshow.

GoPro 4K time lapse not playing correctly I have a set of 4 4K time lapses I filmed on a GoPro hero 8. The original format was AVC format. I downloaded the 4 MP4 files from the GoPro and loaded them into FCPX it transcoded them into ProRes 422 as usual. If I skim all the frames are there. It has a duration that is reasonable (like let's say 10 seconds on average). I added my usual title video sequence and the 4 clips onto the timeline, added my title overlays. And press play and the title clip plays as usual, the time lapse videos instantly finish. FCPX tells me the timeline should have a ~50 second duration. Figuring something failed on the import transcoding I brought the original clips into compressor and transcoded them manually into prores 422 HQ, and it all worked fine and in quicktime player it plays as I expect (the 10'ish second duration) but in FCPX the preview plays instantly and nothing I can do so far will make it play the normal 30fps I had the videos set to. quicktime clearly knows the duration and it plays silky smooth fcpx thinks it knows the duration but doesn't play it that way (plays it instantly)

Problem with export in Motion app Hello! I'm having trouble exporting a video in the motion app. I don't know why but when I export the video it is not similar in how it is in the project view within Motion. Project within motion: Exported video: Observation: As you can see in the images, what I do within the project has no effect on the video and it only repeats the first page instead of showing the ones I selected. Observation 2: And if I save the file and enter it again, it is again all the pages are arranged only on page 1. Please wait for an answer. thank you very much!

I have imported my GoPro footage into Photos, then from Photos dragging them into iMovies for the first on my 2020 Macbook. However now iMovie only treats the movie clips as still photos, so they wont play or edit?

I think the only theme that can play videos in a sideshow is the classic theme.
