How to Set a Default Photo Duration in Microsoft Clipchamp
Question details
The user is looking for a way to configure a default display duration for images when importing them into a Microsoft Clipchamp video project.
- Product
- Microsoft Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Creating a video project that involves importing multiple photos and needing them to play for a specific uniform amount of time.
- Observed behavior
- Clipchamp requires the user to manually change the display duration for each image individually on the timeline.
Ensure your Clipchamp application or web browser is updated to the latest version, as feature availability regarding default image durations may vary based on recent software updates.
Adjust Image Duration Individually on the Timeline
Currently, Clipchamp generally requires you to adjust the length of each image directly within your project timeline manually.
Because Clipchamp assigns a standard default duration (usually 5 seconds) to all imported images, users without a bulk-edit feature in their version must adjust clips manually.
Import your photos into the Clipchamp media library and drag them onto the editing timeline at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the specific image clip in the timeline so it becomes highlighted in green.
Hover your cursor over the left or right edge of the highlighted clip until a double-sided arrow appears. Click and drag the edge inward to decrease the duration, or outward to increase it.
Contact Clipchamp Support for Version Updates
Since default duration settings are limited, checking with support can clarify if new batch-editing features have been rolled out to your specific account tier.
Boost Your Productivity with WPS Office

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the default duration for all photos at once in Clipchamp?
Based on current Clipchamp guidance, users generally need to adjust the duration of each image individually on the timeline. There is currently no native setting to pre-configure a custom default photo duration across all imports.
What is the standard default length of an image in Clipchamp?
When you drag a still image onto the Clipchamp timeline, it typically defaults to a display duration of exactly 5 seconds. You must manually trim or extend it if you need a different length.
How do I remove the gaps between images after changing their durations?
Clipchamp offers a convenient 'Gap Removal' feature. Hover over the empty space between your image clips on the timeline and click the trash can icon that appears to instantly delete the gap and snap the images together.
