Changing image play time on Premiere 6

[Rockguykev]

I'm trying to make a photo show using Premiere 6 but I cannot figure out how to change the length of time each pic shows. The default is just under 5 seconds and I can increase it by dragging it the track thing at the bottom. However, when I do this is shortens the file next to it and will not increase the total run time. I also tried changing the Preferences>Still Images> Frames to 250 but that didn't change anything either. I need either a manual or some kind of info it at all possible

I have done this many a time, it's quite simple once you figure it out...You'll feel dumb, just like I did
You have a pic on the timeline. drag it and make it strech (sp?) and key it up with the timeline, that should make the play time longer. then just move the other pictures around until they also have your desired length...hope this helps...

P.S. or you can right click on the pic in the timeline and goto duration and set the exact seconds that you want

Actually, it was even easier than that! I just had to start a new project after setting a new default duration/frame rate.. Now if I could just find out how to make my files smaller!
