Apple iMovie HD - Manual (Page 27)

Chapter 3 Creating Your First Movie 27
Text often appears at the beginning of a movie as the title of the movie, or at the end
as credits. You can add titles to your movie by clicking the Titles button.
You select a title style in the Titles pane and enter the text you want to appear.
Each title style displays text in a different way. For example, you can select the Bounce
Across style to have the text bounce across the screen. Each title style has different
options that allow you to determine how long the text will appear, what direction it
moves, font size and color, and other options depending on the specific title style.
To add a title to the movie, drag the title style name into the clip or timeline viewer
where the title should appear. If you select “Over black,” iMovie HD adds a black clip
and your title appears over the clip. If “Over black” is not selected, iMovie HD places the
title over the video clip you dragged the title to.
Drag a title style
into your movie.
Enter title text.
