[Maced] Help with iMovie HD photo durations for stopmotion

[Jason Arruzza]

Hi all,
We are doing stopmotion, as we do every year, with our Year 7s.  A  
weird thing is happening with only *some* of the MacBooks on this  
year's image, which makes this so frustrating.  This is the instruction:

"In iMovie, select all of the photos in your stop-motion album  
(iPhoto)....select the first photo and then, holding down the shift  
key, scroll down and click on the last photo. Now click "Show Photo  
Settings" and type in "0:03" for your duration in the floating window  
that appears. Click the Apply button and your photos will be brought  
into the timeline at the bottom of the window. "

About 2/3 of the students ended up with each photo of a duration on  
9:28, rather than 0:03.

iMovie '08 seems to have a minimum duration of .5 seconds, I think,  
so that seems not an option.
Any sage advice out there?  This is sending me nutsy!
Many thanks,

Jason Arruzza
