Adding Titles to Your Project
You can add text over video at any point in your project. For example, you might give
your movie a title or end credits, or use text to identify a scene or individual in the
movie. All added text is referred to as titles.
To add a title to your video:
1 Choose Window > Titles, or click the Titles button in the iMovie toolbar.
2 Select the title style you want, and drag it to a clip in your iMovie project.
As you hover over the video clip with the title, a purple shadow appears over the clip,
indicating whether the title will appear over the whole clip, the first third of the clip,
or the last third of the clip; you can always move and resize it later. After the title is
dropped into place, a title appears in the iMovie viewer and a blue title icon appears
above the video clip.
3 In the viewer, select the placeholder text, and then type the text you want.
4 To change the color, font, or style of the text, select it, click the Show Fonts button in
the viewer, and then make your selections in the Font window.
