Re: vegas slideshow
I don't know if you can storyboard, but here's a workaround. Go to Options>Preferences>Editing. In the "New still image length" field, enter the time in seconds that you want to see each clip . Check the "Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added" checkbox. This will put a fade between every clip, where you'll drop a transition later. Set "Cut-to-overlap-conversion" to a time in seconds. This is the time it will take to fade from one event to the next. Copy your pics to a new folder. You'll now rename the copies. Name your pics as numbers in the order you want to see them on the timeline (for example, 001.jpeg, 002.jpeg, 003.jpeg, etc...). Import the new files into the Media Pool. Press Control+A in the Media Pool to select all the files. Drag the selection to the timeline and Vegas will put them in numerical order, for the correct length of time, and with fades. Next, select every clip on the new video track. A quick way, is to select the first event, then right click, then select "Select events to end". Now that all the clips are picked, drag your transition of choice into one of the fades. Now all your clips will have that transition. Trust me, it's way faster than it sounds, and it's better to do this in Vegas since the Pan/Crop, and Track Motion tools are way easier to work with than in Premiere.
