I am having trouble establishing a set viewing time and transition rates on a series of images within a show. I know I must be missing something but everything I do doesn't seem to stick. I have several pieces of music for the show, most with different rhythms or varying w/in the individual piece. I want to adjust the images and their transitions to the music. Using P2E 8 Deluxe and no updates available. Running on Win7 machine. Working from the Timeline tab, I select a series of images by selecting one, holding down the Shift key and selecting the last one in the string of images I want to adjust. I right click or Ctrl+U to bring up the Customize Selected Slides window. On the Main tab I have selected "Slide duration" at 4 or 5 seconds for example. I've selected "Show next slide after the indicated time interval" and "By default (Show.....). On the Transition tab, under "Transition from Project options" I discovered that "Default transition" would not allow me to make a change from the default set in the Project. So, I select "Default transition with own duration". However, that didn't seem to stick either. I then select "Dissolve" under the "Basic transition" and set the "Transition effect duration" to whatever time I can accept for the grouping. That doesn't stick either after clicking OK. The idea is that this should get me close enough that I can then adjust each one manually as I proceed, if needed. But, it doesn't seem to apply the settings to the group of images. What am I missing? Thanks for your time and attention. Joe
