Then, it also may depend on the type of title you have selected. Some may use a special fixed font. Make sure you have the title, and only the title, selected in the project area.

See episode 491: http://macmost.com/imovie-title-tricks.html But you can't adjust the special effects inside the titles, like moving the lens flare somewhere else.

Is there anyway to move the location of the title? In other words, I'd like to use Lens Flare, but I'd like it in the lower third position of the clip. Is that possible with iMovie 09?

You could create a picture-in-picture overlay for everything and do it that way. But it would require building the overlays in a graphic editor and there would be a lot of them. Would be better to move to a pro editing solution. No, not that way. You could create a picture-in-picture overlay for everything and do it that way.

But it may or may not help depending on how you use the titles. Many titles are preset to start with a specific font to match the style of the title. But at least by changing the presets to your liking you can quickly move through your titles and change each one with just a few clicks. You can change the default fonts in the iMovie preferences.

I have a bunch of titles and I have to go through each an every one to change the font. Is there anyway to set it so the font is consistant throughout the whole project so I don't have to go through and change each one individually? Thank you! Hey Gary
