remove transitions

Click on the transition you would like to remove to select it. Then right-click (or control-click) on the transition and select Delete Selection.

How do I completely get rid of all transitions?

1) Go to the Project Properties window and deselect the "Add Automatically" option.
2) Press the "OK" button
3) When the next window opens, select the "Remove transitions and keep clip duration the same" option.
4) Press the "OK" button.

If this is the project from which you wish to remove transitions, then be advised that there are no transitions present to remove. All I can see is background music. If you want to remove the music, click on the green area and when it is outlined in yellow, press the "Delete" key. If you have a different project with transitions in it, then you must first select that project to access that project's preference options.

Also, when I deselect automatic transition and click ok, no other box pops up...
Here is what you should see if there were transitions present to be removed:

Jon's method works well for transitions that were added to the project automatically. For transitions that you added manually, you may need to delete them manually, as I described in my post above.

For transitions that you added manually, you may need to delete them manually, as I described in my post above.
In the case of manually added transitions, you simply turn on the "Add Automatically" option first. This will add/convert all transitions to the default transition. Once added/converted using this option, you can proceed as described above to remove all transitions. While manual addition/deletion is fine for a dozen or so segments/photos, it quickly becomes tedious when you are dealing with 50, 100, or 200 photo/clip transitions. (Basic strategy/rule of logic here is to simply reduce the new problem to one that has already been solved.)

Thanks, I learned something new with your post.

For sure you need to turn off the Ken Burns effect. Select Fit or Crop instead. Use the Fit,Crop,Ken Burns tool for this. I would try it with no transition at all.

I'm basically trying to have just one picture in my "video" along with music, but I can't make one picture last 2 minutes, so I paste several copies of the same picture, but when it plays, the pictures zoom out repeatedly, making the video very rough. I want one stable view of the picture throughout the music. Is that possible?
Yes. Just turn off the Ken Burns effect for each clip by selecting the "Fit" option. (You could also select the "crop" option but then you would have to ensure the image sequences match properly.)
