Open an iMovie file (not the ones in the Media folder, but the project file) in your favorite text editor. As you can see, it's a plain text file (no XML unfortunately) which you could generate from a script if you wanted. For simple copy and paste functions, one could even write a web-based front-end for iMovie projects.

[Editor's note: This would have saved me some time this weekend; instead I did things this way.]
