Multiple Images On The Timeline Being Rapidly Displayed...

I’m trying to add a series of images to the timeline. I want them each to be .3 seconds long but I’m having a hell of a time getting things lined up. Either the interface is not meant for this type of situation or I’m missing something. Even if I have the timeline view set to 300%, the images are too small to easily drag around and set the timing points.

 

Things aren’t lining up, there are gaps, and other issues trying to drag sliders and move things around with elements this small.

 

Is there an easier way to do this? Can I set the time of each image by typing it in rather than using the slider?

 

I did this same thing in iMovie a couple years ago and it took me a few seconds per image having never used iMovie before. I’ve been trying to get this to work in AE for the last 30 minutes with no luck. Hopefully I’m missing something and this can be done easily.

 

Basically I want a series of 10-20 images to rapidly display in succession, each with about .3 seconds on screen.

Hello, if I'm not missing something, you can easily equalize the durations of the scenes by editing first one's duration to what you like (.3s in this case) and clicking the three dots button on that scene, and selecting "Apply duration to all" from the menu that opens. Hope this helps since with this method you only need to set the duration in one scene. 
Happy designing!

Hello, I meant scenes at the bottom, next to the play button, not to the image itself (Please check the screenshot I added). When you hover over any scene at the bottom, you'll see a three dot button, you need to click that and select "Apply duration to all" option. (Of course you need to add a new scene for every new image, otherwise that wouldn't solve the issue for the scenes with multiple images, as you guess 😉 ) Hope this helps!
