<p>I want to make video from multiple still photos (some kind of slideshow). When I drag&amp;drop photos from media pool, they appear on timeline, but last too long. When I select all frames, press right mouse button and choose "change clip duration" I can set some value. Unfortunately, they are changing duration but stay at previous position leaving some gaps:</p>

<p>Are there any other ways to set duration of all frames to the same, fixed value (0.5 second for example), and at the same time keep them all together?</p>

Are there any other ways to set duration of all frames to the same, fixed value (0.5 second for example), and at the same time keep them all together?

You can use **Edit** > **Delete Gaps**

This will remove all gaps on all tracks. To exclude a particular track, you can lock the track before you Delete Gaps.

You can also change the default Image/Still duration before the import in the application **Preferences** > **User** > **General** > **Standard still duration** setting
