automagically adding transitions between pics in a slideshow?

[Jason Perez]

A friend of mine sent me a DVD with a few slideshows on it (done
by a PC). Between each picture in the slideshow was a transition
effect (push, radial, etc.).

Ok, I can do this manually in iMovie. Just add pics from an iPhoto
album, then add the transitions one at a time. But that's pretty
time consuming if there's a lot of pics. Is there any way
to automate this operation? Applescript, shell script, etc.?

Running OS X 10.2.6, iMovie 3.0.2., iDVD 2.

For this sort of thing, I would suggest using "LiveSlideShow" rather
than iMovie (and I'm a huge fan of iMovie). iMovie's AppleScript
dictionary only has one verb in it -- DoCommand, and inserting a
transition is not a menu-command operation.
