Tips
In the edit video window, still pictures and color clips are set as motion
pictures with an initial playback time setting of 5 seconds.
You cannot use a collection of only still picture scenes or color clip
scenes to perform motion picture editing.
The set playback time may be slightly longer or shorter depending on
the motion picture.
