Cinerella - Importing bulk images

[MediaXG]

My goal is to make video DVD's with images. I worked out how to resize & crop images from the terminal, but that still means I have to load an image into Cinerella time line, that is only one frame, then I have to zoom in to 'stretch' the image I want to make it longer, like 5 seconds, then do this all again for the next 100x images,?? - Hmmm - I am missing something I am sure, it there a better way to do this?? - My next idea was to convert an image using Konq-Kim into into a 6 second MPEG2 clip, can anyone lead me to tutorials on how to do this? - Any help or comments will be appreciated, Thanks.

Thanks wildhostile for that neat tutorial,

Since then I found a setting in the 'record' preferences to specify the length of images when dropped to the time line, so that's great, also I discovered you to use the 'Camera' & 'Projector' options and the timeline, now that's really great! - So now I can import 'large' images & resize & pan & do everything that I want. - It's all looking good! :D
