Win Movie Maker: photo display duration

Solved

Hello everyone,

I am using Windows Movie Maker to create a small slideshow of photos and I am wondering if it is possible to change the display duration of the photos once they have been inserted into the video sequence.

I had set it to 4 seconds in the "advanced settings" tab and I realize now that it is not enough. I would like to increase this time for all the photos. The problem is, now that my editing is almost finished, when I change the advanced settings, it doesn't make any difference... the changes will only apply to the future photos I will add to the video sequence.

Is there a simple solution to change the duration of my photos?

Thank you in advance,
TitiConfiguration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

I do it like this:
You download the latest version of Windows Movie Maker, you go to Tools (at the top) then Options... you select the Advanced settings tab and there you reduce the Duration of the photo.

Yes, that's it, but the duration of the film shouldn't go beyond 7 seconds.

Here is my idea: you make a first normal video, then you make a second one and you split it at the image time you want.
PS/ TO KNOW HOW TO SPLIT, I SUGGEST you go to how to split in Movie Maker.

I go to Edit and it says duration, and you set the duration you want for each photo.

GOOD EVENING
YES it's simple, place your arrow on your photo when it's in your sequence, it will turn into a hand
with your hand, gently slide to the right when it transforms into a double red arrow, left click and gently pull, you can enlarge it as long as you want.
See you!

Thank you for this response, but I'm looking for a way to extend the duration of all my photos and I would like to avoid doing this manipulation for each one.
Isn't there another solution?

In my opinion, I don't see anything else since each photo is a sequence in itself.
But maybe I'm not that talented after all!!
See you later.

Hello, I am facing the same problem with Movie Maker as you!! Did you find the solution to increase the display duration of photos for a full project without doing it photo by photo? Thank you, I have spent hours looking for it.

no unfortunately nicou, there is only the franlac method that works! I searched too and no other means except for starting over or changing the advanced settings. sorry but try it, it's not that long with the franlac method.

I apologize for the delay in thanking you for your response to help me with Movie Maker and the extension of the photo duration. I managed to do it as you suggested. Thank you for the good advice, and again a thousand apologies for this late response, but I was away and far from the internet!

Good evening, a little tip from a big slacker for accelerated video editing:

1_Create a first classic film with photos / effects / transitions / texts... without the soundtrack + record the video.

2_ Import this same video into a new project and reduce the timing of the whole.

3_ Repeat as desired until the desired duration is achieved.

Best regards / leloup

Hello,
I have the same problem as Gab; I created a montage (photo and video) and I want a duration of 4 seconds for all the photos. When I go to options and settings to set it to 4 seconds, there is no change in my slideshow afterward, and I have photos that last 3 seconds and others that last 5 seconds.
Can you help me?
Thank you.

The modification is only effective for newly added photos!!!
You must therefore remove and re-upload all your photos and then it works.
