The people at the Apple store gave me a long, tedious workaround which is open Pages and bring in logo.  Export it as a PDF.  Open the PDF in Review and then "Save As" a jpg to the desktop and drag and drop into the imovie.  Even with this process, the text will sometimes shift.  When it works, it looks good, the logo comes up, then the second line fades in under it as part of the build and then the third line completes the graphic.  It would something this easy and straight forward would be easy.

I did the work around for the titles/jpg's in this short video. 
I'll try your fix on the next one.  I have 22 short 3-5 minute videos to produce
and I'm on number 5.  This should save me a bunch of time. 
It would appear that you know more than the guy at the Apple Store. 
Thank goodness for on-line forums.
I already tried fixing them individually as you suggested,
  by going the crop/fit route.  However, even then,
  the second in the series had always shifted. 
The first and the third images lined up, but not number 2.. 
So  I brought in all the images, (1, 2 and 3).  
and then the 2nd image again and put it in the third position
in the sequence on the time line. I deleted the "original" 2nd image.
So I had 1, 3, then 2.  Then I dragged and dropped the correct number two
into position two and it worked.  So what happens is that the
client logo appears, then that stays put and the next line dissolves in
  and then the third dissolves in.  They are three separate titles, but they
are aligned perfectly so that they build as I dissolve between them.
I think the problem with the edit copy route would be that while
I could edit/copy the logo, I couldn't position text through the
iMovie text function exactly as it only gives you middle or bottom third etc.
  Each title with the product name is positioned individually depending on
length and number of lines. By going through Pages, I can position the logo
and the text exactly.  Also, some logos are horizontal, while others
are square etc., so text positioning is crucial.Anyhow,
I'll try the global approach for the next one and see how that works.
  Thanks very much for your insight and especially for your prompt reply.
I trust you're inside on this gorgeous July 4th because you're
making money on your computer. ;-)HarveyVOn 7/4/2011 3:57 PM, Apple Support Communities Updates wrote:
