Note
You're shortening each clip to the same length here, but you can
have clips of varying lengths, depending on what's appropriate
for the project.
2.
Drag the right edge of the first clip (1_Family) to 03:00 on the time ruler.
Photoshop displays the end point and the duration as you drag so that you
can find the right stopping point.
3.
Drag the right edge of the second clip (2_BoatRide) to a duration of
03:00.
Shortening a video clip doesn't compress it; it removes part of the clip from the
video. In this case, you want to use the first three seconds of each clip. If you
wanted to use a different portion of a video clip, you would shorten the clip from
each end. As you drag the end point of a video clip, Photoshop displays a preview
so you can see which part of the clip is included.
4.
Repeat step 3 for each of the remaining clips so that each has a duration of
3 seconds.
Tip
To quickly change the duration of a video clip, click the arrow in
the upper right corner, and then type a new Duration value. This
option isn't available for still images.
The clips are now the right duration, but some of the images are the wrong size for
the canvas. You'll resize the first image before continuing.
5.
Select the 1_Family layer in the Layers panel. The clip is also selected in
the Timeline panel.
6.
Click the triangle in the upper right corner of the 1_Family clip in the
Timeline panel to open the Motion panel.
