That doesn't mean you can't change it later, so if you want some of your slides to be longer or shorter, I'll show you how to do this. That means any image I import into my timeline is going to be 10 seconds long by default. So for example, the images here, maybe I want each slide to last for five seconds or maybe 10 seconds. If you go to the Edit menu into Preferences, and go to Timing, there is a setting here that we need to change, if you want the slides to have a longer or shorter duration immediately after you import them. Before you do this, though, you may want to change one little setting in Camtasia. I can just select all of them and drag them to my Media Bin or drag them to the timeline. So this is the folder where I have the slides. I'm using Camtasia 2021, but this should work in previous versions as well. So these are all the slides from this presentation here, you see them four of them, and they are the size of an HD screen slideshow 1280 by 720, and I want to import these into Camtasia. I have a video about that in my suggestions there and in the description. So this is the folder where I exported my individual slides. I have exported this presentation as individual JPEG files to disk, and I can import these into Camtasia using the Import media feature, and put all the slides into Camtasia. Hello, let me show you one way to import a presentation, a PowerPoint presentation from individual JPEG files. This will make it easier to import the images/slides without having to change the duration for each of them.
It's a simple process and we look at changing the default duration setting for images in Camtasia too.
In this article/video I show you how to import PowerPoint slides from individual JPEG files (or any other series of images) into Camtasia.
