I would like to help but am not understanding how you are setting the time to 10 seconds for a photo.  Can you post a screen shot?

[joeyponz]

Like a video but put photos in the video so basically a video of photos

What is the pixel size of your photos?  If too large, that can happen.

You also may need to update or roll back your video driver.

Im not sure what it is but it inly does it when i set the time though when i dont set the time snd its on 4 seconds it is fine

[Bill Sprague]

There are two ways I know of to set the display time of a photo, maybe more.  Can you help me by explaining how you are setting the display time for each photo?

[joeyponz]

I click exoert and then on my mac i right click and choose the time one there is 100% which i cant alide and theres the time under and to the right is the two linked bars and i just put in like 8 seconds which works and seems like the photo gets bigger sideways i click play to see how it is and after 4 seconds the screen goes black and u cant see the photo anymore until the next photo shows up like 3 seconds later

Are you working in Organizer or making a video on a timeline in Premier Elements?  I'm very confused, but would still like to try and help.

[joeyponz]

Just a video but on the timeline or bideo i am adding images and then am gnna put audio as well. Its a video to announce me and my gf are having our forst baby

[Bill Sprague]

In Edit > Preferences > General,  there is a setting for the "Still Image Default Duration".  It is in frames.  If your project is set at 30 frames per second and this is set at 150, each photo will display for 5 seconds.

How are you setting up the project and what are the project settings?

[Bill Sprague]

Next we'll get to what kind of photos you have an how to add them to a project.

I just looked for some YouTube training videos.  I found some that seem to describe what you are doing.  They are using Photoshop Elements, not Premier Elements. 

Would you please verify what you are using to make your slideshow?

Thanks.

[joeyponz]

Ok soni have to change that then and its just default everything

[joeyponz]

And i am using premier elements

[Bill Sprague]

I'm sorry, but I am too confused to help.  I can't figure out what is going on.  Perhaps someone else can.
