Note
If the media appear in reverse order, choose Edit > Undo, and when you choose Add
Media again, make sure you select 1_Family.jpg first and then Shift-select 6_Sunset.jpg.
Also, it will be easiest to Shift-select the media if the files are sorted by name.

Photoshop imports all six of the assets you selected onto the same track, now named Video
Group 1, in the Timeline panel. It displays still images with a purple background and video clips
with a blue background. In the Layers panel, the assets appear as individual layers within the
layer group named Video Group 1. You don’t need the Layer 0 layer, so you’ll delete it.


8. Select Layer 0 in the Layers panel, and click the Delete Layer button at the bottom of the
panel. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

Changing the duration and size of clips in the timeline


The clips are of very different lengths, meaning they’d play for different amounts of time. For
this video, you want all the clips to be the same length, so you’ll shorten them all to 3 seconds.
The length of a clip (its duration) is measured in seconds and frames: 03:00 is 3 seconds; 02:25
is 2 seconds and 25 frames.


1. Drag the Control Timeline Magnification slider to the right at the bottom of the Timeline
panel to zoom in on the timeline. You want to be able to see a thumbnail of each clip and
enough detail in the time ruler that you can accurately change the duration of each clip.
