I dragged and dropped a bunch of pics on to the time line. By default Vegas makes them 5 seconds. I forgot where I read that. But the client would like them 9 secs instead. Is there a shortcut to changing them all at once?
Thanks,
Jeff

Not a shortcut, but the fastest way I know is remove all images from the timeline by selecting the first image then right click and select events to end. Then hit delete. Go to Options -> Preferences -> Editing tab and change the default still image length to 9 seconds (add more if you want a dissolve between each image while retaining the 9 second length).

Then put the images back on the timeline. Done.

Cheers,

Mike

Scripts can easily do this too.

While it's an excellent suggestion, Mike's method won't work if the images come from different folders or are not in numeric order.
In that case, click image #1, go to the end of the image sequence and Shift+Click the last one to select all of them, press G to group them together, place the cursor key at the end of the last image, hold down the Ctrl key (the cursor will change from a rectangle to a ~) and drag the sequence out to the new length.

You can also go to 'edit details' make sure 'events' is selected. Then drag to select all of the events and change the length/time to whatever you want.
