Collages length

Hy everyone,

I have some problem with the collage duration in M. Video Deluxe 2017 Plus. I want to change it but i can't. Stretch, simple retraction etc. does not work...
Can i change it or the duration is what the program says?
For example the length of the collage "4 Obj. 01 (16:9)" is 16:01s... But i want it faster, 08:00s. Possible the change it?

Hi,

No, you can’t speed it up in the usual way. There are two options (excluding the rather complex one of editing the collage from scratch to create a new one):

1. Simply export that short range, re-import it, and adjust the speed of that.

2. Less satisfactorily you can try ungrouping the objects and shortening each one. This may change some aspects of the effect, but with care it can produce an OK result.

Hi Terry,

The first one is very simple and because of this it didn't come to my mind but it's a great idea! Thank you very much.
The second one is really complicated. I tired it and it doesn't always work firstly and lot of time...
So export, re-import... Thank you again!

All the best!
