Video Timeline: How to set default frame duration when importing?

[Yompa]

In the video timeline, when I press the plus symbol button (Add media to track), all the images get imported into frames that are 120 frames long each, automatically. How can I set them so they're 2 frames long instead?

Or, how can I select all layers and adjust them at the same time so they're each 2 frames long?

I understand you can adjust all frame durations in the Frame Animation timeline, but the problem with that is, you can only adjust it in seconds, and not frames. I need them exactly 2 frames, in 24fps. And even if I could, I still need to put these in Video Timeline mode; but when I convert from Frame Animation into Video Timeline, every frame is put on a separate track, rather than just all on one track, one after another.

Unlike your other topic Timeline: how to set duration of each frame, at the same time?  here we can use a more complex script that will track when clips are added to the timeline and automatically change their duration to a given one:
