How long should each image display in a slideshow-style reel?

Set your images to display for approximately 1.2 to 1.9 seconds each. This creates a fast-paced, engaging rhythm that keeps viewers watching. You want the pace quick enough to maintain attention but long enough for viewers to register each image. Try to keep all images the same duration for visual consistency, and sync the transitions to the beat of your music when possible.
