IMovie-Why can't I change the font of my title?

My simple question is that when I open the Font window from the menu to try to change the type, size and color of my font it doesn't change anything.
Below is the step by step of what I'm doing if you need this information: 
I choose "T" button below view screen.
Select "Organic Main" and drag and drop it infront of my video (Green line indicates where to put it, and a green plus confirms the move is good).
Screen pops up asking me to choose background, I choose "Organic".
View screen shows new background with Text "Title Text Here" highlighted.
Project screen shows the new block in the front of my video clips, on top of this box is the blue rectangle box that is highlighted yellow and repeats the "Title Text Here" text.
So far so good.
I go to the top menu and choose "Text > Show Fonts".  The Font window pops up.
Now when I click on fonts, font sizes, or try to change the color of the font, nothing happens.
I close the font window and hit done on my preview window and still nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much in advance, you people are always so helpful

Hi Appleman,
So what causes the Title Sequence from not being able to be edited?
As per michelepost comments earlier, neither the "Show Fonts" function allows title values to be changed, nor if the iMove Font Panel displayed?
From the Menu options, neither does the Cmd- or Cmd+ functions work to manage the size of the title text...
Can new titles be created with images from my photo library be used as backgrounds for Titles?
Whilst on the theme, why when changing photo image durations, the value in time entered does not relate to the image(s) selected? I enter 1.8seconds, and 0.9 is displayed against the selected image.......
Looking forward to your response in advance.
Maggie

  • Why can't I change the background color on title slides in 10.0.2?

    I can change the font color, but the background only seems to be able to be black. any truth in that?  Seems like the older version I had let me change the background color.

    I'm replying to myself because I cannot see your post ??????
    From my email- KT said:
    "Typically, when a same-only different controller acts up like this, the first thing to do is to rewire - sounds like you've gone down that path tho.
    Can you duplicate one of the cooperative controllers, add it to the mix and see if things change there?"
    I've tried all of that several times.  I have no idea.  Maybe some sleep will help it and me.
    Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

    As soon as I posted this - your post appeared.  Again??????

  • Why can't I change the font size on the menu bars for my mac book air?

    The text is just too small sometimes. Are there any third party apps that can help with this, apparently apple is under the impression everyone has perfect vision? Is this some crazy request? I was reading through the forums and this has been a problem for a while now. I am so happy that apple has high resolution screens but my eyes are not great and it is hard for me to focus on small things for very long.

  • Why can't you change the font on apple devices?

    why cant you change font on iphone? i hate the font that is on apple devices!!

    Because Apple has not made that a feature of the phone. They have never stated why. However, Apple has a long history of discouraging user customization so it's not really a great suprise to anyone who's used Apple products for any length of time.

  • Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

    Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
    Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
    I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
    I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

    That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

    Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

    Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
    When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

  • HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

    Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
    iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups. 
    Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
    The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad.  (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
    I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone.  You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
    Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

    iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
    Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

  • Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:
    ======================================================

    DatabaseMetaData dmd = con.getMetaData();
    show_supported_trans_levels( dmd );
    int status = con.getTransactionIsolation();
    System.out.print( "1. " );
    disp_tx_status( status );
    System.out.println( "con.isReadOnly() = " + con.isReadOnly() );
    con.setTransactionIsolation( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE );

    =========================================================
    However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:
    ======================================================
    SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: Transaction manager errors. statement not allowed in XA Session.
    ======================================================
    To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    You can change the setting, you may need to click the lock at the bottom of the preference pane. Be careful what you download and install, Gatekeeper is there to help you. OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support

  • How can I change the font to multiple titles at the same time?

    Hey guys, quick question. I have a bunch of titles and lower thirds in my project and my producer decided that he didn't like the font we were previously using and wants to change it to a new one. He seems to do that pretty often. Is there a way to "globally" change the font to multiple title cards at the same time instead of clicking on each one separately and doing it manually for each one? And if there is no way to do that does anyone have any ideas on how to make it easier?

    If you have any idea of design and fonts you would understand that "Title Cards" are not "exactly the same" if you change the font... because all fonts are not equal! Lower thirds are probably even more restrictive because they have design elements in them.
    If you work with "change their mind producers"...the deal that goes with that is suck up their changes. (on a salary or otherwise)
    I was just saying there is no way without scripting ..to change a title ( graphic) en masse ( in Premiere) and get it working because of font differences.

  • Why can't I change the color of the h1?

    I'm working on a site and all of my CSS is working properly but I'm having trouble changing the color of the h1.  I can change the font, the size, bold....everything EXCEPT the color.
    I duplicated my page and CSS and began to deconstruct the page elements as well as the CSS and I have gotten down to this basic coding and it still will not show red text for h1 even when I have it coded that way in the CSS.  The Design View in DW shows red but when I preview in a browser, it shows black.
    I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.  I've never run into  this before.  What am I doing wrong?
