Making a stop action movie

I am trying to help my son make a stop action movie from photos he shot on
our digital camera. I was able to downlaod the photos and import them into
Movie Maker. The story board looks correct. The problem is when I try to
make the movie, I cannot control the frames per second, and I end p with
about 5 seconds per frame.

Could someone please advise me how to adjust the fps?

Thanks

=============================
The following instructions are for Movie
Maker 2.1...but may also be useful for
Vista version 6.

Make the duration adjustment before
you drag the pictures to the timeline.
....Tools / Options / Picture Duration...
a good starting place may be 0.250 sec.

Or...in timeline view...adjust them one at
a time by placing your pointer on each
picture at the edge and dragging the double
red arrow...you'll see a tooltip that shows
the duration as it changes.

When the duration is very short the pictures
appear very narrow on the timeline...you can
expand the view somewhat with your Page
Down key.
