I know using Premiere for slide shows is kind of overkill, but a lot of times I am working on a project with both videos and pictures, and it is much more convenient to use one program for everything.

Does anyone have any advice for any ways to automate any part of the slide show production (like the features in Windows Movie Maker or similar) within Premiere?
