reduce height and bottom padding of auto gallery carousel block

hi there, i'm trying to reduce the height of my auto gallery carousel block section and i've got the images to the correct size i want them, but it's leaving horrible padding at the bottom that i can't reduce or get rid of. the box itself won't let me reduce it in size!

thanks

How do you have the gallery set up?

Gallery blocks are in Squarespace FE are a pain, it may be better if you used a classic editor section, or even better this method:

Have you used some CSS to control the image height?

this is what i've used:

//logo reel//
body#collection-6639eeafa20e736e45ab9e26 .sqs-gallery.sqs-gallery-design-strip img {
       max-height: 150px !important;
       overflow: hidden !important;
   }
   
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1716456735026_63874 .sqs-gallery-design-strip-slide {
  opacity:50%;
  padding: 0px 30px 0px 30px!important;
  margin-bottom:0;
   transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1716456735026_63874 .sqs-gallery-design-strip-slide:hover {
  opacity:100%;
  transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

Have you tried adding the same max-height to 

#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1716456735026_63874 .sqs-gallery-design-strip-slide 

as well as the img?

i diddd yeah, just added it back in to double check but it's not done anything

You would have to add the code, then edit the page layout after as it won't change automatically.

You could also try adding a max height to the FE block itself.

I tried that too! blooming nightmare haha. in the end i've settled for margin-bottom: -30%; on the whole section. not the best but we'll see if we have any problems!

Negative margins bring me out in a cold sweat, scary stuff!

That Will Myers solution is pretty good...
