Trying to do a slideshow using multiple still images w/ a 4 sec duration and 1 sec transition and the system reveals it is set at those specs, but when I import the pics it comes out 10 sec durations and 1 sec transition. I have repeatedly re-imported to no avail. Help!
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.1
Four seconds is not the import length it is the selection length when you click on an image in the browser. The easiest way to get the images the same length in the timeline is to put them in the project. Select them all and use Control-D. Simply type the length you want the images to be. Type 400 or 4 period for four seconds.

It's easy to forget to click the Enter or Return key after putting in the number!
I once spent ages wondering why the number I entered was not being reflected in the timeline . . . Tom eventually put me right.
You're supposed to add the images to your timeline, select and then press Control-D
This does not work if the images are still in the browser.
Simply use Control-D and start typing. It will go into the correct place. 400 and enter.
Thank you. I have repeatedly tried to select the images then Control-D then type in 4.0 sec's below the view box, but it still doesn't come out w/ 4 sec's per image. I wonder if I'm not typing in the wrong place?
Thank you all! It worked on a new set of imports! I have to figure out what I was doing wrong on the previous project as it didn't work then. Much appreciated.

There is a bug where even if a still image is set to 4 seconds in the environment settings, it becomes 10 seconds or longer when inserted into the timeline. There may be differences depending on the usage environment, but in my environment a bug occurs. Intel MacBookPro2020, Ventura13.6, FCP10.6.10/10.7
In some cases, a still image was inserted and the duration was displayed as 23 hours!😂
There is also a technique to overwrite a still image in a gap with a specified duration. It will be useful to remember, so I will introduce it to you.👍
--
1. Insert gap into timeline with option+W →⌘A →control＋D →400 enter
2. All 4 seconds gaps
3. Select still image →Select gap →Overwrite from starting point with option+R
Want duration of images for slideshow to be 4 sec but they come out 10 sec's even though the system is set for 4 sec's
