I am trying to find the simplest way of dragging the edge of images on the timeline to coincide with their corresponding audio event (as Sony Vegas does).  The only way I could find was to specify a figure corresponding to the length of time the image should last, before moving on to the next image.

It was a case of trying a figure, finding it was either too long or too short, then adjusting and re-adjusting until it was right.  A simple drag to get image and audio so coincide would be so much quicker.

I used Movie Maker many years ago and the timeline was much easier to handle.
