You can add titles to identify people, places, and dates; to add commentary; or anything you like. iMovie also lets you create chapter titles and chapter markers that you can easily export to iDVD. Before You Begin To make it easier to do the tasks in this lesson, print the lesson before you start. In many tasks shown in this lesson and in iMovie Help, you need to choose menu commands, which look like this: Choose Edit > Clear. The first term after Choose is the name of a menu in the iMovie menu bar (shown below). The next term (or terms) are the items you choose from that menu. Tutorial 1 Adding Titles Each title style has a different set of options, and each lets you put different amounts of text on the screen at once. Use the Titles pane, shown below, to add titles to your movie. To create a title: 1 Click the Titles button to open the Titles pane. 2 Select a title style in the list. 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 (most of the title styles incorporate word movement or fading in and out). The title's duration is the total of the speed and pause, and is shown at the bottom of the preview monitor. This is how long the title will be 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 Click Preview to see how your title will look.
