Builiding a mask in Premiere Elements 2022

[Tim273764993rzj]

Hey guys,

i'm really an amatuer in this field and im trying to do my first own film of a vacation i just had. I'm doing a pretty fast transition from picture to picture and lining them up with an underlying music track. It is really annoying to clip every picture one by one into the correct length and add it up to the track thats why i wanted to ask: Is there a way to build a mask in premier elements which i can use to save some working effort. The musical pattern repeats itself after like 20 seconds and i wanted to know if there is a way that i build a model or mask once for the first 20 seconds and the first number of pictures and then use this and just have to input the next number of picture without having to line them up to the music again? 

I hope it became clear what i meant,

Thanks in advance , Tim

Are the clips you're using video clips or still photos?

Its only photos in this part of the video.

Select all the photos on the time line at once.  Then use the Time Stretch tool.  The duration of each photo will be the same.

Its called editing, and no there is no such template for Elements,

In the Preferences there is a setting for still duration.

If you set that to desired duration all still will come in at that duration.

If stills are already on timeline its manual labour.
