Adding Titles to Your Movie
iMovie calls any text that you place in your movie a “title.” You can add titles to identify people,
places, and dates; add commentary to a scene; just about anything you like. Each title style
has a different set of options and some of the styles allow you to put different amounts of text
on the screen at once.
To create a title:
1. Click the Titles button to open the Titles Pane.
2. Select a title style from the list. The style will be previewed for you in the preview
area.
3. Type the text you want to appear onscreen in the text fields.
4. Choose the font, text size, and text color.
5. Set the duration sliders: The Speed slider sets how fast the titles move into and out
of the movie; the Pause slider sets how long the words hold still on the screen.
Note: The title’s duration is the total of the speed and pause, which is shown at the
bottom of the preview monitor and this is how long the title will last from beginning
to end.
6. If the title style you chose has arrow buttons, click them to select the direction from
which the title should enter the screen.
7. If you choose to click on the box next to QT Margins, iMovie will create margins
that are closer to the edge of the frame. If you keep this box unchecked, the
margins will leave more of a border for viewing on a TV screen.
