These images will appear in the Media Library, where you can drag these images into the project Timeline. To add transitions to your iMovie project, select the "Transitions" menu located in the Media Library. There should be a variety of transitions that can be added into the project.
Similar to how video clips and images are added, these transitions can also be dragged into the project Timeline between clips. Once added to the project, a small box containing two inward facing arrow heads should appear where the transition was added. Make sure that transitions are added there. NOTE: Transitions can only be inserted between video clips that are in the same line of video.
If you insert video above another clip, you cannot have transitions between them. You must intersplice the videos. The transition can be seen in the Viewer.
To see the transition, place the playhead over the transition box. From the Timeline, double click on your transition. A popup menu should appear, letting users modify the length of the transition. You will again have to drag the audio file from the Project Library to the timeline. If you plan to record the audio in iMovie, move the playhead to the beginning of the slideshow and hit record.
You may want to record each slide separately and line up the audio as you do the slides. Select your QuickTime file. It should show up in the Project Library the upper left hand section of your iMovie screen.

You want to make sure all of your slide show content is in the window. Select all of the jpeg files. They will appear separately in the Project Library upper left hand section of the iMovie screen. To build your movie, select each photo and drag it into the timeline bottom half of screen.
You may choose to drag in one image at a time, record the voiceover for that slide and then move on to the next. This can account for slight timing changes — ie. Perhaps one slide has a voice over of 25 seconds, one 18 seconds, and one 17 seconds. You can make some modifications on how you would like your project to be exported. It is recommended that most of the time you do not need to change any of these values. You will be prompted to save the file. If you want to mess with the saturation, brightness or values of your video, iMovie makes it very easy.
Simply press the "palette" icon above the preview screen as shown here to open up the menu. The slider on the right controls the "temperature" of the photo, whether the warm colours like red, yellow, orange and pink are more prominent in the photo, or whether the cool colours like blue, green, purple and are more prominent. The slider in the middle controls the saturation of the picture: whether the picture is more brightly coloured, or whether the colours are more muted and grey.
The slider on the left controls the brightness of the picture. If you increase the top slider, the white slider, that will make the highlights of the picture brighter or darker. If you move the bottom slider, the black slider, that will make the shadows of the picture brighter or darker. If you move the middle sliders, this will change the contrast of the picture: whether bright and dark are very diametrically opposed, or not.
Finding the optimal settings for the video differs depending on the style of the video. Don't be afraid to mess around with the sliders, until you find the ideal colour-grading.
Sometimes, if you're thinking of making a timelapse video, or you want to slow down an action shot within your editing, you'll want to mess with the speed of the video, to display differently. Right-click on the video file you want to speed up, and select "Show Speed Editor" from the dropdown menu.
This will make a small slider bar display on the top of the video file. Drag the slider bar leftwards, and this will make your video faster. The video file will flash with the icon of a hare to indicate this.
Hare is for a sped-up video. Drag the slider bar rightwards, and this will make your video slower. The video file with flash with the icon of a tortoise to indicate this.
Tortoise is for a slowed-down video. It isn't always easy finding a pool of places where free videos or audio can be found without needing to pay royalties, but this will hopefully give you a places to start off with! Creative Commons Attribution 3.
