One of the features of iMovie that allows for some of the functionality that iPhoto offers is the automation of slideshow parameters. The tutorials point out that slideshows are not just limited to iphoto. If you are working on some video clips and you would like to add photos in a slide show format, you can easily create a slideshow for your photos right inside your imovie edit workspace. You can certainly customize the properties of each photo, but if you would like to set a fixed timing for your slideshow you can do that with in the "project properties" settings. If you right click on your project media in the project library, you will see the option to enter the "project properties" tab. Once you click on that tab you will see the familiar theme picker window noting which theme your project is set to, if any. At the top of that window you will see another option labeled "timing." If you click on this option you will see a dialog window that displays all of the options for the overall parameters of your project. You will see options for "transition duration, Theme transition duration, title fade duration, photo duration, initial photo placement, and initial video placement." You can set the master controls, so to speak for all of these elements in this preference window. From this small list of controls you can be certain that every photo you add will have the length and transitions you desire, without having to address each photo individually. You can also do a global change to the properties of your media elements all in one place.
