Prevent Clip from being Stretched and slow playback of an avi file

Hi all,
I'm kind of new to this, but I think what I'm trying to do should be very
easy. I just can't figure out how to do it so that it looks good. What I'm
doing is taking a baby picture in the form of a .jpg and having it display
for about 5 second. Then I've created a .avi file of the baby picture
morphed into a current photo. The morph last for about 2 seconds, because
it's being played back too fast. Then I have the current photo display for
another 5 seconds. So here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to slow down the speed in which the avi file is being
played back?
2. On playback the avi file is bieing Stretched, but the jpg's aren't

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

See here for how to change the duration of the transition.

As for being stretched, I assume you mean the physical size of the picture.
Here is more info on sizing and using pictures, also useful is the link at
the bottom whioch goes into more detail.
