iMovie '11, still images as frames for time lapse problem

As strange as this may seem, I cannot find a way to change the stills I import to just be 1 frame each in iMovie '11. That is, I have 30 still images (a time lapse) that I want to put together for a 1 second sequence (i.e. 30 frames per second). The slowest I can seem to get is down to is 1 frame per second which gives me a total time of 30 seconds, which makes it useless.

Are still images able to be set to 1 image per frame? Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can do this in iMovie but it is quite cumbersome.

Long-time contributor Jon Walker createdthis Video Tutorial to show how to do this.

The Tutorial is for iMovie 08, but I verified that it still works for iMovie 11.

There are better tools for Stop Motion, including iStopMotion and QuickTime Pro. After doing it in iMovie, you may see why.
