How do you make a picture last less than one second on Windows Movie Maker?

Answer 1

Getting a picture duration to last less than one second on Windows Movie Maker can't be done by manually dragging it backward on the time-line.

However, you can change the Duration Default for Pictures to the lowest setting possible which is: 0.125.

To change the Picture/Transition Duration Defaults:

> Click on Tools
> Options
> Advanced tab

Use the up/down arrow key (to the right of Picture Duration) to 0.125. Remember to Restore All Defaults when you are done, or the settings will affect future projects.

Answer 2

To change the duration default for photos/pictures:

> Click on Tools, Options and the Advanced tab
> Beside Picture Duration, increase or decrease the 'seconds' to the desired time

This Duration Default for pictures will be applied to each slide/picture in your video. The maximum Default Duration for Pictures is 30 seconds (minimum 0.125). If you want clips to show longer than that you will have to manually drag them along the time-line.

Just remember to Restore All Defaults when you are done, or the setting will be applied to future projects.

Answer 3

You select your picture then go to 'Video Tools' then go to 'Duration' then select the time you wish for your picture to last. The default time is 5.00 seconds.
