changing standard display time of jpg photos

Hi, I'm using Magix Movie Edit Pro 2014 and using a Lenovo PC laptop with Window 10.

Please help ! I saw a tutorial on YouTube (but I don't think the software was the same version because the settings window was in a different order) and I wanted to change the display time of my jpg images that I would like to play in a video sequence, having each image last on the screen for only 2 seconds. The default is set to 7 seconds. When I go into settings and change the standard display to 2 seconds, the digit "2" does remain in the settings window BUT when I click "play" to watch it take effect, it doesn't !! and I see each image for 7 seconds no matter what I click. Even when I tried to switch "seconds" to "frames", there was no change.

There is no "apply" button at the bottom. There is only an "ok" button, which I do click on but nothing changes !

Please help.

Thanks so much

You can set the image length to 2 seconds as shown below.

Clicking OK set the new setting.

However: if you have existing images of a different length already on the timeline before you make this change, their lengths will not be changed, only new images added to the timeline will be 2 secs long.

To change existing images - select the ones to be changed - right click and select Change photo length and adjust as required and click OK to apply.
