Hello Bonnie,
We apologize for the delayed response!
>> The order isn't perfect because they are in alphabetical order, rather than chronological, so I will have to move things around.
We would recommend you to rename the source files using numbers "1", "2"...etc in chronological order and then upload to AVS Video Editor.
>>I also tried to put in a simple transition and apply it to all but it seems as though it didn't go all the way.
After you placed your images to the Timeline, please go to the Transitions > right-click on the necessary transition > Apply to All.
>> I wanted to also change the duration of the transition as well as the time the photo is left on the screen.
We would recommend you to change the settings at first: press Ctrl+Enter to open AVS Video Editor settings > Edit > Default Durations. Please note, that this parameters will be applied to the images and transitions newly added on the Timeline (it will not change the duration of the images and transitions which are already on the Timeline).
>>I drag the text sample down to the text line below the photo, but I can't seem to edit it. When I click on it, and manage to get the new text, the word text is still there.
Right-click on the Text field on the Timeline to edit text. The "Text" word will be removed after you end to type new text and click somewhere out of the Text input field.
Best regards
