IMovie 09: Possible Titles Limitation
With two iMovie 09 projects, I've tried to add more than twelve titles, but it won't allow any more. Has anyone else come across this or is this a known feature? I have plenty or RAM and my videos are in standard def and no longer than five minutes. The title I've been using is "Four Corners".
Yeah, I took the single clip and split it and got the same issue. But the thing is...why would applying multiple titles to one five minute clip not be allowable? Anyway, yesterday I tried adding multiple non-animated titles and found that it was unlimited, but then once I tried to apply an animated title, specifically Four Corners, iMovie would not apply the title. So the application IS restricting the amount of animated titles, I just wonder why the application would be designed that way???

Anyone know a way around iMovie's inadequate title capabilities?
i'm new to mac and this is my first time using iMovie. i want to create a title and my title is longer than a few words (it is a sentence). in iMovie, the only title setting that allows me to break up my title into multiple lines (like you would a textbox) that are actually readable is "Far Far Away". I do not want this crazy animation on my title though. All other title options make me put my entire title on one line, making it tiny and unreadable.
Anyone know a way around this?
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.6)Yes, my title plug-ins work with iMovie 2 through 6.
For Intel-Macs, you need to run through Rosetta, as they are not Universal Binary.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to compile them for Intel as they are built using CodeWarrior according to the old SDK model. (SDK=Software Development Kit, which is Apple's "interface" for programming). Compiling for Intel-Mac requires XCode and a heavy re-write of the code, since the XCode SDK has a different structure than the CW one. -

IMovie 8 and Titles?? Plz Help
How do you get a title for iMovie to go in the middle of a video clip. I like making youtube videos and would like to explain what certain things are is in the video.. but the problem is whenever i drag a title to the middle of a clip it does not put the title in... If there is any way of doing i would like to do it.
I find that if you put the title at the end and drag it to the clip point you want it works but it take way to much time
i do not know if i have to save anything but i would enjoy this because out of the whole imovie 08 the titles are the coolest part the app.
Thanks for Reading this if you know anything plz reply
-NickDrag the title to the top of the middle of the clip. Drag it to where you want the title to start. Then you can click on the title to give it focus and you can adjust the end point by dragging the right side of the title as a handle.

Title limitation in DVDSP4?
Notes on DVD test playback 11/20/05 8:07 PM:
This project has 22 menus. Most every submenu has 6 buttons. Ten (10) of the menus are submenus created as a result of chapters/chapter markers of a single audio/video track. The other 12 buttons have a separate video file. The build process created 44 "titles" I tested last nights version of this project completely on a different computer, my wife's iMac OSX 10.39, using Apple DVD player to play the "built" DVD off of the hard disk and each and every file and menu option played back exactly as it was programmed/like expected.
The DVD was burned using Toast v7/01, after removing the ".LAY" and ".layout" files. Toast showed the file size to be 3.66 GB. It did not pass verification and did not play correctly even through the first two submenus.
So I recompiled/rebuilt it again in DVDSP4 and formatted this next version directly from within DVDSP4. DVDSP4 said, "Compile Completed Successfully," and upon burning/formatting said, "Formatting finished" (see complete logs below). DVDSP4 said the file size was 3.99 GB.
Upon visual inspection of each of the two discs, I found that there was space left on the "burn" side indicating that each of the two discs were not "full."
This last DVD played titles to "title 31" OK. Titles over "title 31" locked up the DVD player.
This project was rebuilt from scratch, from the bottom up. Nothing was kept from the original project. Yet this is the same type of result that I got from the last project. The builds all went well with no yellow flags in the DVDSP4 log. The burns were successful with no yellow flags in the DVDSP4 log. The lower chapters - to around chapter 20 played back fine. The higher chapters - above chapter 21 or 22 did this same lockup thing - the DVD player showed the "higher" title number, then chapter 1 number, but did not increment time and only showed a black screen on the TV.
I was very careful this time to make sure that I only used files that had been compressed the same way - stock Compressor v2.01 setting "Best Quality 120 minutes - 4:3 all" except for one file that I no longer had the original FCP file for, that had been compressed using the last version of Compressor stock setting "1 hour".
This particular file shows as "title 31" and played back fine through 17 chapters and 13 minutes and 8 seconds. It end jumped correctly. I went back and chapter skipped from chapter 1 of this different quality compressed file and it skipped chapters correctly all the way though the end. When I skipped from the last chapter of "title 31" it correctly forward jumped to the next file.
So I don't think the different compression ratio on this one file is an issue.
Another odd thing is that the original version of this project also created 44 titles. However, after rebuilding that project completely from scratch hoping that I had eliminated any "corruption" I added a few more menus and videos/titles to this version. Yet this version also has 44 titles. There should have been a few more than the last project - certainly not the exact same number again.
So it's the higher title numbers - titles above 31 that are problematic, with the numbers above 31 not playing back at all and locking up the DVD player. My DVD player, a Pioneer DV-F727 is several years old, but has no problems playing back commercial DVDs.
Is there a title/file number and/or a hierarchical limitation that I am not aware of and need to know about?
The number 31 is the last binary number (0-31 = 32). Does this have anything to do with it? I see commercial titles that have more than 31 chapters. Star Wars III has 50 chapters - ah, but after checking I see it's "title 1 chapter 50". One title, with 50 chapters.
So, is there a problem with more than 31 "titles?" If so, what is my solution? Make each of the pieces of each of my submenus all one piece? With a one second space of black between each one to insure a clean start? Then have them show up as "chapters" instead of "titles?"
I just spent over two weeks completely rebuilding this project from scratch. It plays fine off of the hard drive using Apple DVD player, yet it still does not burn correctly or play back correctly from DVD - even when DVDSP4 shows every indication that the the project "built" and "formatted" correctly. Please advise.
Below my email address please find the copied and pasted logs of the build and format of this last attempt. And please let me know ASAP if DVDSP4 is incapable of building a project of this size with over 31 "titles" or if there is any other known file/format/type/quantity/etc. limitation. Thanx.

Formatting finished.Thank you for your response. I used DVD-SP4 in the stock/standard configuration. I did not set DVD-SP4 intentionally to do anything. So, I'm not sure what you mean by your statement ". It looks like you have set DVD-SP4 to put each menu into a separate V_TS and, without enough extra tracks to play . . ."
What I had done originally was have a separate video for nearly every menu button. I wanted potential clients to be able to listen to any one part of my demo and when that part was finished, have the DVD "end jump" to the next menu button selection. That's why I had such a large track/title count.
What I did next was to combine all the separate "movies" within each [main] sub menu into one - longer - movie with chapter markers per [main] sub menu (except the 6th & last one because I did not have the original FCP file for one of the movies in that menu). Then I retargeted each button to the correct chapter marker.
This brought my track/title count down from 38 (or so) down to 8 or 9. That helped. But I still had trouble burning/formatting a DVD that would play reliably. Out of 5, I only got one that played each menu piece from beginning to end, then made it's "end jump" correctly without causing the DVD player to get lost and stop playing back the DVD.
A couple of others played back the menu pieces from beginning to end, but would "get lost" at the end of, for example, menu #2 playback and stop the DVD player instead of making the correct "end jump".
But then I'd go back to the exact same place (the last section/button/chapter location of the menu that got lost), and the next time it would "end jump" correctly. Go figure!
The rest did not play back reliably at all.
I don't know if combining the individual "movies" to one movie per [main] menu is what you meant when you said, "Try putting the menus (in batches) into the V_TS of the asset they refer to, and not into a new VT_S for every sub-menu/story. (Or possibly, even, putting them all into V_TS#1.)"
I don't know what all the "V_TS" designations mean. I wish I did.
I'm not sure what to try next. I suppose I could combine all of the first 5 menu's "movies" into one long-play track, and re-target the buttons all over again. Maybe that is what you meant when you said, "(Or possibly, even, putting them all into V_TS#1.)"
It will be a lot of work - again - but it would bring my track count down another 3 or 4. It won't be very good for navigating my demo, though, as I laid out each of the 6 main submenus so that one could view a specific part of my expertise or experience. With only one big "movie" there would only be one "end jump" and it just wouldn't be as good as the way I have it now.
By the way, when I rebuilt the individual tracks into 1-menu-at-a-time combined tracks in FCP 5, I grabbed the original individual sequences and put them into a new sequence. So my original sequences then became sub-sequences. However, when I did this, all my green chapter markers turned into pink clip markers that did not export as chapter markers into DVD-SP4. And everything I tried to convert or change them from pink clip markers to green chapter markers did not work.
If I double-clicked any of the sequences, the markers showed up as green chapter markers. Recreating them one at a time was a hassle. Do you (or does anyone) know of a way to take those chapter markers in the original sequences and retain them on the timeline when using those sequences as sub-sequences?
Anyway, here is what the log said for this latest attempt to build/format/burn this movie-menu-combined DVD. Thanks again for your help!

IMOVIE 5 HD: TITLE v.s. SOUND
When I put title onto movie clip (with unchecked "Over Black"), and after title has been rendered, I can see title appearing over the selected clip, but - I cannot hear the sound!
I did try everything possible with sound in iMovie 5 HD with no result.
The only workaround is - using "Extract Audio" and then use the title over video clip only?
This problem has appeared just recently.
Any clue - why?

IMovie to QT - titles unreadable; also: endless rendering...
Two big problems with iMovie -
I saved my 3 minute movie made entirely of titles (for a vocabulary lesson - I'm a teacher) as a Quicktime - it's completely unreadable it's so blurry.
Using newest versions of quicktime, etc., changed the setting on QT to highest, which worked for the full size (1G!), but did nothing for the web-quality size.
Now, back in iMovie - I tried changing the color of the words to see it that would help and now it won't stop rendering. I've quit, restarted, tried again, etc. but no luck.
Arrgg.
Please advise!
MacBook Pro (2GHz intel) Mac OS X (10.4.7)movie made entirely of titles
So you don't really need 30 frames per second showing
the same title, right? And video resolution limits
the readibility, right?
Good point! Yes!
You could use some image editing app (Photoshop,
Graphic Converter etc) to compose images of desired
resolution and insert the titles to them.
Here's the thing:
I'm not using ANY images -
I'm using the titles in iMovie to type in words and definitions
and enjoying the animations I can make the text do for interest.
That's all I need to do. Would I still need to do this in photoshop?
Then name them so they sort as desired and open them
in QT Player Pro as an images sequence with the
desired frame rate. Then export them using some
non-DV codec with the original resolution.
What would that be?
Do a test
which codec is suitable (anyone?).
Thanks for your help!!! -
IMovie '09 forgets title changes
Hi,
I'm very pleased with the new features, perfect for a quick movie when I'm not in the mood for FCP. I've discovered one snag though, where I've made changes to titles, iMovie might forget and revert back to previous text the next time a project is opened. I can't find a pattern to this behaviour though, it seems to happen at random. Has anyone else noticed something like this?Yeah, I am having problem with Titles too. Soo I posted here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1945257&tstart=0
This is my problem & what I did, though no success guaranteed.
Something irritating happens to me when using iMovie '09.
I made a short 5 mins movie, after testing and what not & after being satisfied, I then goto Share > Export Movie, type a filename then press ENTER. A message then appeared and say "Preparing project ...". After 7 mins, the movie is completed.
Then when I played the movie, I realized I don't like the fonts of the titles. So I went back & amend the Title. Then I repeat Share > Export Movie. When I chose the same filename, it asked me whether I want to replace the old file. So, I clicked REPLACE.
When I opened up the file, it played the old movie (meaning the amendment of the title was not reflected). How come it is still playing the old file ?
Fed up, so I tried again, this time deleting the old file before sharing it again. Doesn't work, I tried deleting old file and naming a new file, it also doesn't work. I notice all this time after clicking Share > Export movie, instead of the message "Preparing Project", the message now says "Exporting Movie".
Being too fed up, this time I tried inserting some photos & then took it away & do more amendments. This time when I clicked Share > Export movie, it says "Preparing Project" and it worked !!
I can only conclude that after you clicked Share > Export movie, if the message says "Preparing Project", it will work but you got to pray that the message that comes out is not "Exporting Movie".
Is it a bug that you must make more amendments than just changing the fonts of the Titles ?
Is this a bug ? Or is there some settings that I missed out ?
Any ideas what went wrong ?
Thanks -
IMovie '06 bug - Titles - Animated Gradient
I couldn't find anyone else who asked this question under iMovie '06 so I'll post it here.
It appears that whenever you have created a title with multiple lines, and then click on the Animated Gradient title under Clip to Character, or any of those transitions, iMovie will crash. Once it opens back up, if you haven't previously saved the project immediately after working on a multi-line title, you can use it just fine. Otherwise, you have to work on or create a single-line title in order to use one of these transitions.
"Save early, Save often" is not a phrase I usually associate with Apple, nor is quit and restart, but both have become regular practice in this version of iMovie.I'm actually having problems now duplicating the problem on cue in a new project. I can get it to crash, but it's kind of hard to give the exact sequence. The project I'm working on is a DV/NTSC/Full Screen (4x3) mode movie. It consists of photo stills, transitions and titles, with a music soundtrack.
For example:
Take a song purchased from iTunes and place it in the timeline.
Take a photo and place it into the timeline set at 00:05:20 duration
Copy and paste that clip
Apply the black and white effect to the first clip
Create a 2:10 cross-dissolve between the two
Add a 1:16 Fade-in before the two and a 1:16 Fade out after
Using Edwardian Script ITC font (if you have it on your machine)
Put in a multi-line Centered title over black, largest size
Put in a multi-line scrolling block over black, largest size
In the Titles Pane, click on a different Title type, just not a Clip to Character.
Click on another clip then click back on one of the title clips after it has rendered. Make sure the titles pane changes to the appropriate Title.
Test 1) Try to select one of the Clip to Character transitions, specifically Animated Gradient, as if you were going to update that title clip to an Animated Gradient.
Test 2) Click on one of the multi-line titles and add several lines (4 or 5 pairs)
Keep going back and forth between title types, both with a current title clip selected, as well as without.
This is the type of situation where I am running into trouble. The kind of text doesn't matter. I typed in several lines of gibberish and it did the same thing as the "clean text." Punctuation doesn't seem to be an issue. I thought maybe a ' I was using was throwing something off. That doesn't seem to make a difference. The fact is I can get the title put in, but only if I am careful about how I go about it. That is frustrating.
Hope this detail helps.
Thanks for looking into this.

Imovie 9.0.9 limited functionality
Problems:
I can add only add footage imported after the update to a project (both new and pre-existing) my previously imported footage will only play in the event window. It gives a grey preview window and requires a restart of the program when added to a project.
I assume it is a fault either with the update itself and its recognition of existing events or the events themselves, although I had no problems with them prior to the update.
Background/Information:
I updated imovie 9.0.6? to 9.0.9 two days ago hoping it would fix the problems I encountered when I updated to imovie 11 a few months ago.
At first I had problems updating it because the app store kept asking me to sign in with the apple i.d I had purchased imovie with - I already was. Anyway, I used a suggestion someone had posted on here (send the old version to trash and then go into the app store). I used imovie briefly that same night, testing to see if I could reverse a clip (something I couldn't do without crashing the previous version of imovie 11) it worked without a problem.
Today I went to actually try some video editing. I created a new project and dragged over a song from itunes, it moved no problem. I tried copying a clip into my project and found the clip only showed when i changed the number of frames per thumbnail. When I tried to play the clip nothing happened. No sound and a grey preview window. I closed imovie and reopened it to find the clip had disappeared from the project.
I tested other existing projects and couldn't add clips or play them either - some had sound but it didn't match what it was supposed to be.
I tried importing a new clip and it imported without issue. I addded that to my project and I could hear it - and the song from itunes but there was still no picture. I closed and opened imovie and I could see and hear the clip in the project.
I've noticed that every time I click on a different event imovie goes red in 'activity monitor' and says 'not responding' it has started to respond after a few minutes but it is getting tedious.
Fixes I've Tried:
I've tried deleting the .plist and having imovie rebuild it, it made no difference.
I've deleted the cache files for the events I'm trying to use (initially that made imovie unresponsive when reopened) but that has also had no effect.
Any advice or suggestions for possible fixes would be appreciated.
Thanks.My suggestion would be to go to your event in the Finder. Move to the Trash the Thumbnails folder, the Cache Folder, and the Stabilization folder (if there is one). Make sure not to delete your actual clips, which are in the Event folder, but not in one of these subfolders that you trash.
After trashing these folders, restart iMovie and let it generate thumbnails. -
When I add a title in iMovie, the last title disappears
Using iMovie 10.0.5 on a Retina 15" running 10.9.5, I have added a series of titles (lyrics) over a music video. Now, suddenly, when I add the next one, the previous one I added disappears. It does allow me to add the new one, which is the sixth or seventh one in the video, each with only a few words. Then, when I add another, the last one disappears again. I am ripping out the last of my hair.
All I have to do is drag the transition over the tracks area and the new one is gone. If I move on past the tracks area, dragging the new transition over the border, as it were, the previous one reappears.
Is there a maximum number of titles that can be added over a video?
Thanks.It just displays with a black background in the viewer unless you change it from the default.

Slow iMovie - Does it has limitation in the amount of video files it can edit?
Dear All,
I would like to do some videoediting of holidays video with my iMac i7 12gb ram.
I have imported with iMovie my dv video and this worked fine. But starting from a certain point iMovie became really slow. Thinking of a memory issue, I added 8gb ram (now 12) but the problem persisted. So I decided to move video files from mac hdd to my gbit lan NAS, and than I got a firewire800 hdd.
I got a MyBook Studio II (http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=210) which I tried using first RAID1 and than to increase speed I configured into RAID0.
Now, what I noticed is that if the project has a total of:
- 29gb of video files, editing the project (move, delete, add) and play works quite fine. (project file size about:17mb)
- 53gb of video files, editing is slow (about 7sec to move or delete a clip) (project file size about:128mb)
This happens both if the video and pj files are on the iMac hdd or in the firewire one.
Does anyone of you know if iMovie has some limitations in the amount of video files it can edit, or if it is not performing correctly under certains conditions?
Furthermore I will start editing 1080/50p video since I got a new camera. Keep going with iMovie is the right way? Do you suggest other products?
Thank you for your advices,
blpIt appears you have enough processor speed, memory, and hard drives.
Once these are taken care of, there are two main things that cause slowness
1) Events should be logical events. You should not dump all your footage into a single event. A project can use clips from multiple events and the performance is fine. In DV for example, an event should hold maybe two tapes maximum. If a single tape has three logical events: say Birthiday, Vacation, and Christmas, make three events.
2) if you editing feature length movies, you should use Final Cut Pro X. For short movies iMovie is fine. For movies in the middle, it is more of a judgment call. The reason is that iMovie renders everything in one pass. Final cut Pro does background rendering as you go. If this were the case for you, you would be able to edit at full speed, and you would only notice the slowness or a crash when you shared the movie. -
IMovie, themes, change titles ?
Does anyone know how to change the END titles in iMovie Project that is using one of the Themes?
I am using the theme "Playfull" and this adds a title in the start and the end. I can not figure out how to change the End title.
iMac, iMovie 10
thanks in advance
RohitHello zrohit,
It sounds like you are trying to edit a project with a theme, but you are unable to remove the titles. You may need to disable automatic transitions first:
Disable automatic transitions
Choose Window > Movie Properties.
Information about your movie appears above the viewer.
Click the Settings button.
Editable movie settings appear above the viewer.
Deselect the “Automatic content” checkbox.
After you turn off automatic transitions in your movie settings, transitions are not added to your movie automatically when you add new content, but any existing transitions or titles remain.
Disable automatic transitions

IMovie 09 - Will titles downgrade 1080i quality?
I think I now understand the quality issues with v8.0.1/v8.0.2 relating to FX (other than cross dissolves and fades to black/white) downgrading the quality of 1080i clips to "Large" but could someone tell me if the inclusion of a Title, either overlaying an video image or on a plain black background, would also cause a 1080i image to be downgraded across the whole movie?
I am about to start my first edit in iMovie 09 and want to know what to expect, if titles will cause a problem then I'll create physical titles and shoot them with the camera rather than create them in the program. By the way the camera is a Panasonic TM300 (AVCHD).Titles over video are fine.
But for some insane reason Apple decided that plain backgrounds were to be included in the "bad" FX category. So I grab some video and dial EVERYTHING down to create black video.
Of course the correct thing is to use photoshop to create some colored mattes and import into iphoto. -
IMovie 08 Chapter Titles in Garage Band - Help!
I've added chapter titles to my iMovie 08 project by sharing it with Garage Band. Now, what do I do if I just want a movie on my hard drive that will play in iTunes or Quicktime, BUT I don't want to compress yet again. In other words, is there some sort of "pass through" with regard to compression since the movie is already in a compressed format as "large movie" (iMovie 08 selection).
Seems that if I choose a compression, I'm compressing an already compressed movie just to get the chapter markers in. Am I missing something here? I don't want to compress twice.
I can't find anything in the Help section nor anything in the Search on this forum or the Garage Band forum.Now, what do I do if I just want a movie on my hard drive that will play in iTunes or Quicktime, BUT I don't want to compress yet again.

Use the Share menu "Export Movie to Disk..." option and select the "Full Quality" pop-up.
