How do I apply the same duration to all my pictures on the timeline?

You omitted one important aspect of your question which I think may have distracted Hunt into thinking pre-Premiere Elements 8.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using? If you are using Premiere Elements 8, then you can apply the same duration to all your pictures on the Timeline at one time....highlight (select all), right click any one of the highlighted pictures, select Time Stretch from the pop up menu, and the set the duration in the duration space in the Time Stretch dialog. Job done.

If you are using a version of Premiere Elements earlier than Premiere Elements 8, then, as Hunt said, it is a one at a time deal once the pictures are on the Timeline and the suggestions of Hunt would apply.

The Duration can be changed globally, prior to Import. This is done with Edit>Preferences>General and then the Frame length for Sill Image Duration.

Once Imported, it's by hand, with Click-drag on the Head, or Tail, one at a time. The option is just Delete the stills from the Project Panel, set the Duration to the desired Frames, then re-Import.

Good luck,

Hunt

PS - if you're doing it by hand, I recommend that you also have the Info (Window>Info) Panel open, as it makes it much easier.
