Hi, This is Margaret with Noble Desktop. Today, We Will Be Learning How to Create a Photo Slideshow in Premiere Pro. I Have Some Photos Here of Concerts. I'm Going to Put These All on Their Own Timeline. There's a Few Ways of Doing That, but One Way I Will Do It is by Selecting Them All. I Clicked on the First One and Then Moved to the Bottom One and Held Down the Shift Key. They're All Selected and I'm Going to Drop These Down to the New Item Icon. This Immediately Creates Its Own Sequence Line That Matches the Resolution of These Clips. Some of Them Are Different, They're Not All the Same Resolution, As You Can See, but It Took the First One and Adopted That Resolution As the Timeline.
I'm Going to Rename This "Photos". so My Sequence Has the Correct Name. Now Let's Look at Duration. I'm Going to Do Command + a to Select Everything, Command + R. Now These Photographs Are Four Seconds and 29 Frames a Piece. They're All the Same Size. I'm Going to Say I Just Want Them to Be 10 Frames. Ripple Edition Shells Have to Be Checked, or Else We'll Look at What Will Happen. Now These Got Very Small and These Act Like This Fun Slideshow.
I'm Going to Command + Z and Do Command + R Again. This Time I Won't Check the Box and I'll Write 10, and This Creates These Terrible Gaps Between Your Clips. It's Very Easy to Work with Using Photographs. I'm Going to Say 15 Frames to Get a Little Longer. Make Sure That's Checked and Say Okay. Maybe I Want Since Everything is Selected, If I Do Command + D, Everything's Going to Have a Cross Dissolve on It, so It's Going to Have This Kind of Look.
I Hope You've Enjoyed Learning How to Create a Slideshow Using the Speed Function in Premiere Pro. This Has Been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
