Trouble with Titles - Help!

I am a little bit familiar with iMovie b/c I'm using it for a technology class I'm taking in grad school. I am working on a project now and I'm having no luck inserting a title over a video clip. When I try to move it to the timeline, it just adds another clip with the title in a black screen. It does this even when I uncheck the "over black" option. But, when I select a video clip, the 'update' button is grey (won't let me click it). Does anyone know what to do? The preview works, just not the update button. If someone could help, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hello, Lindz22,
Welcome to the discussions.
Try this:
Place your playhead at the point you wish to have the title. Be sure the clip is selected. Command-T to split the clip at the playhead. Now drag the title onto that split clip. It should work fine. You cannot use the 'Update' button until you have placed a title on a clip. After the clip is titled, if you select the clip and want to change the title, you can use the 'Upate.'
Post back if it does not work.

  • Trouble with Titles over Photos

    I am having issues placing titles over the photos in my movie. I can create the titles and preview the title over the photo. When I click and drag the title icon to the timeline to place over the photo the title disappears. I have made sure that the duration of the title is not longer than the photo's duration.
    Thank you

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Are you sure that you are dragging the "T" (beside the type of title you want) over the beginning of the clip or at least to a point where you have split the clip?
    Also, do you see a little green circle with the + sign in it where you are attempting to drop it? If not, you may be trying to drop it after a transition and you need to place the title there first then add the transition.

  • Trouble with title page and buttons

    I can burn a DVD on DVD Studio Pro but am not able to create a title page or buttons. I have DVD Studio Pro version 1. What's the easies way to do this?

    Are you seriously using version 1? Wow. I do have a copy of that installed on an old machine somewhere - I'll have to go and find it to remind myself how it all worked.
    My recollection is vague, but I seem to recall that you add a menu tile and drop an image of the correct format onto the square on the left hand side to get the background image... you use the property inspector to set that menu as the first play item in the project.
    Creating buttons - can't quite remember, but I pretty sure it was/is very easy. I'll look out the old manuals when I get a chance.
    It might also be a good time for you to upgrade to a later version. I say this not because I think an upgrade is good, or that V1 was particularly bad (actually, it was spectacularly bad at times), but that there is a very, very small number of people who are able to offer support and advice about v1. It was based on a totally different code set to the current version, and there are very few similarities between that and version 4. The only thing you can say is that the DVD specification didn't change, so certain principles for using the app still apply.
    If you can find a copy, look for Martin Sitters excellent book for version 1.5 - a really useful reference. I have a copy of that somewhere too... sounds like it is time to dig it out! Check Amazon here:
    http://spedr.com/u19v
    Are you running v1, v1.2 or v1.5, and what OS are you using?

  • Trouble with titles

    I'm trying to add a title over a picture in iMovie (Picture is already in timeline viewer, using KBE). When I type the title out, and click "Preview" it will show it to me just like I want it, but when I try to drag it onto the timeline viewer it puts the title AFTER the picture and autopmatically checks the "over black" button. I've added other titles ontop of pictures, but this one isn't working...WHAT AM I MISSING????? Thanks,
    wahaco

    Is the title longer than the clip?

  • Help please with sound problems with titles in iMovie HD/iDVD

    I find on a DVD I am creating that certain titles produce brief, grating noises when once the DVD is burned.
    I am unable to hear these noises in iMovie HD.
    I have tried re-importing the video and doing all the captions again ~ but the result is always the same: these loud distortions of the audio, but only on a couple of the titles.
    By the way, I have found that by setting the volume to 60% on the regular video and setting it to 140% on the clips with titles, I get a result on the burned DVD where the volume appears constant. I have never understood why putting on a title should diminish the volume: seems like a serious weakness in this software.
    But right now, it's these unwanted noises that are spoiling my project.
    Any answers?

    Hi again Sue.
    I've just gone and read that reference.
    No, I've tried extracting the audio and re-doing the title, but when I burn the DVD (and you know how long that takes) I find on playback I have these grating noises.
    I suppose I should be grateful they are only brief and affect only a few of the many titles.
    Thanks though for taking the trouble to try and help.

  • We are currently having troubles with our iTunes. Playing different songs and randomly it changes the name of the song to pink time after time. We could go through 5 songs before it will change the next one to song title time after time and artist pink

    Hi I am having trouble with iTunes! Randomly when I click on a song in iTunes it changes the song title to time after time and the artist is pink.
    I could click on 4 songs and they will be normal but then the 5th one will change the info to time after time.
    I haven't done anything different or new, it started doing it all of a sudden, well that I have noticed anyway. Please help.

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

    Hello world

    The short answer is that e4x XML rocks!
    Beyond that, consider that you are sending xml to Flex. For
    any format other than e4x, Flex has to convert the xml into that
    format. The precise algorithms Flex uses for this are not obvious
    or published. This is why I have never liked using mx:Model. It
    converts the xml into nested objects, but i have never been
    comfortable predicting exactly what the resulting structure will
    be.
    Once you get an e4x xml node identified (toXMLString()), you
    CAN predict exactly whate the data you want is going to be because
    there is no conversion. And I and just very comfortable with xml.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • I down loaded ios7 and now I'm having trouble with my audio on Skype, does anyone knows how to fix it? Please help!

    WWith the new ios7, I became frustrated in using my iPad3..I'm using Skype as my main communications with my love ones back home,now it seems that ios7 doesn't help me a lot for I'm having trouble with my audio communication coz my family can't hear anything from me.. My skype doesn't have any options or settings that I can check with to see if I can fix it...I need help...please if any of u knows how to fix it..I would greatly appreciate it...

    You can try removing app then reinstalling. If that doesn't work
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

    If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.
