Changing a title from a movie I imported

Question

How do I change the imovie title that I first typed in when I imported camcorder footage?
Thanks

If I understand, you want to change the name of the project, right? You want to change the name that appears in the window title, followed by "(DV-NTSC)" (or whatever type of project yours is.)
The easiest way is to use iMovie's File > Save Project As command to save a copy of the project. That creates a new project with the name you assign. It also takes care of the housekeeping chores described below. When you know Save As was successful, discard the old project.
Otherwise, follow these steps:
1. If you don't know where your iMovie project is stored on your hard disk, Command-click on the little project icon just left of the project name in the window titlebar. The popUp menu that appears shows you the path to the project file. Choose the SECOND item in the menu. That takes you to the folder containing your project and selects the project.
2. Reactivate iMovie and Quit.
3. In the Finder, rename the project file. Be sure not to change the file extension "iMovieProject", however.
4. Control-click on rename the project file. Choose Show Package Contents from the popUp menu that appears.
5. You'll see a file with the name extension ".iMovieProj". Rename that file to match the name you gave the project.
6. You'll also see a file with the extension "~iMovieProj". (Note the tilde.) Drag that file outside the project.
7. Double-click on the project file you opened in #4. (Do NOT click on the iMovie HD icon in the Dock to launch iMovie.) If everything opens as it should in iMovie, save the iMovie project..
