I know of no way to automate this. Why would you want to? This is one of the things just because you can, don't mean you should. Having dozens of different transitions in one video would be highly distracting and rapidly become annoying in my opinion.

You can apply a crossfade with a user defined time for clips being imported to a project.

Name your clips in the order you want them 01, 02, 03...
Go to Options/Pref/Editing----The bottom checkbox/set time.
Highlight your clips in Explorer and drag to timeline.
You now have clips with fixed crossfade & transition time. All you have to do is "randomly" drop in whatever transitions you want.

I was thinking of slide show, where you have hundred of images. Transition effects look good.

I only throw in a fancy transition every 10th pic or so, and only start after about 35 pics. They may look good, but you really don't want them stealing attention away from the subject - which is the pictures.

Remember you only have to do this once - then you can use the project as a template for others.

if you like transition effects check out Pixelan SpiceMaster. I really like it.

new in VV3: when you assign a transition, all subsequently created transitions will default to that transition.

of course if you want them all to be different then you still have to manually go through and choose different "Spices" or tweak parameters.
