Hello, I'd like to import around 25 photos into a 20 second composition with all of them set to be incremently shown for less than a second each -- maybe a quick 3 frame crossfade between each too.
I know there's a way you can set that up on the import (or perhaps preferences?), but I've only done it once and can't seem to remember how.
First, import your photos in composition window, select all of them and then drag the last one on "Create new comp" button. Dialog window will pop-up where you can adjust all the properties like duration of each photo will be shown, duration of dissolve etc.
For details go to: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials.html?id=48 where everything explained very well (Adrew Cramer`s tutorial "Elegant Slideshow").
Hope it helps.
