Tap the clips or photos you want to use (you can always add others later on) then tap Create Movie. IMovie will automatically arrange your clips into a sequential order on a timeline (the strip at. Using transitions in an iMovie project adds polish and often smoothes juxtapositions between clips—for example, a long Fade to Black transition can indicate the passage of time. By default, iMovie makes all the transitions in your movie the same length. Standard transitions are one-half of a second long and theme-styled transitions (which are available only if you have set a theme for your project) are two seconds long. You can add transitions between clips to smooth or blend the change from one scene to another. You can have a clip fade in or out, dissolve into another clip, zoom in to another clip, and so on. You can set iMovie to add transitions automatically, or you can add transitions manually. Add transitions between clips automatically.
But once you've intentionally imported photos OFF-center — done by dragging the Preview image — the default is no longer applied to future imports. (iMovie always imports using the Ken Burns settings last applied, or the settings of the clip last selected.) It's not obvious how to return iMovie to the center.
Here's how:
1. Select a photo in the iPhotos list. Open the Show Photo Settings window.
2. Turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox. Stop the Preview animation.
3. Click on the left side of the Start/End thingy. (To activate the Start position.)
4. Drag the zoom slider all the way right, then all the way left. That centers the photo for the Start position.
5. Click on the right side of the Start/End thingy and repeat the zoom drag.
Now both the Start and End positions should be centered.
If I missed the point of your question, please say.

iMovie User Guide
A transition affects how clips look when one clip changes to the next. By default, iMovie inserts a transition between every video clip and photo in your project.
You can change individual transitions so that they have different visual effects, and you can also adjust the duration of a transition, up to a maximum of 2 seconds (provided that the surrounding clips are longer than 2 seconds).
Modify a transition
With your project open, tap the icon in the timeline for the transition you want to change.
In the inspector at the bottom of the screen, tap to select one of the following transitions:
None : Cuts from one clip to another with no effects.
Theme : Uses custom effects from the movie theme you're using.
Cross-dissolve : One clip dissolves into another. If this option isn't available, it means the clips on either side of the transition aren't long enough to create a cross-dissolve.
Slide : One clip slides into another in the direction you pick. Choose left-to-right, right-to-left, bottom-to-top, or top-to-bottom.
Wipe : A line wipes one clip into another in the direction you pick. Choose left-to-right, right-to-left, bottom-to-top, or top-to-bottom.
Fade through black or fade through white : Choose a black or white fade from one clip to another.
The icon changes to indicate the type of transition you selected.
To change how long the transition lasts, tap the duration shown, then tap another duration.
The available durations are determined by the lengths of the clips on either side of the transition, up to a maximum of 2 seconds. The cut transition () has no duration.
Tap outside the inspector to close it.
