Dale,
Couple of ways to do it but the easy way is to get Motophoto from VASST at this link: http://www.vasst.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=129&category_id=9&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=66 . It's included in Ultimate S. You can download and try before you buy. Or, if you prefer to do it yourself, you can use track motion to fly the pictures across the screen.

Basically, you put a picture on the timeline, go to the track header and click on the track motion button (cursor should be at front of picture). Once the dialog box opens, click and drag the picture off the viewing screen (box representing where the picture was in the dialog box) to the left. Then go to the point on the timeline at the end of where your picture displays (event), position the cursor there, and again go to your picture and click/drag off to the right of the viewing screen this time. You should see two diamonds below your picture in the dialog box, one for where you started the picture and one for where you stopped (called keyframes). Note that the position of the keyframes in the track motion dialog box is relative to where the picture is for the whole timeline, not just that event in the dialog box like in pan/crop. Now close the dialog box (you should see two triangles on the timeline under your picture also), move your cursor to the front of the picture on the timeline and hit play. If you've done it right, the picture should fly across the screen. If so, play with sizing the picture (within the dialog box, click a corner and drag to the middle), different positions to start and finish, and/or change the direction in the middle. Now imagine doing that for 100s of pictures across several minutes of your timeline with pictures flying up, down, across, behind and in front of each other. That's what Motophoto can do in about 10 seconds (as fast as you can identify the pictures to select from your hard drive). Give it a try. It and the rest of Ultimate S is a huge time saver.

edit: works the same for video events too.

thanks for the help. I have tried what you suggested, you're right, a little tedious, but it works and I'm away to the races now. And, feel pretty silly because it seems like it was sitting in front of me the whole time. Man, love this software! Also, downloaded the trial of the software you suggested and I'm going to give it a go in the morning.

Thanks again,

Dale.
