IMovie HD 6 Editing with "far, far away" title

Is there any way to slow down the speed of the copy moving up the screen when using the "far, far away" title? The slowest I can get it to go is a 1 minute duration and that is too fast for my purposes.

I also like the mock Star Wars rolling credits, but find the version in iMovie 6 inadequate.
I therefore use an application called (surprise!) 'Rolling Credits' from:

which works a treat, but now costs $19.95!

  • Editing the "Far Far away" title in iMovie

    the 'speed' is determined by 'amount-of-text x length':
    lots of words x 3 secs length = speeeedy
    few words x 44 secs length = sloooooow

  • Imovie 9 "far far away "video artifacts on render

    Trying to a 30 second clip in iMovie 9.0.9 using the Stars background and "far far away" text fx. I can add the text no problem but when it renders, I am getting a whole bunch of video artifacts. After I render, the same artifacts show up in iMovie in the preview pane. They never actually show uo until I render. Any thoughts? This is on a macbook air (original) but I have tried it on different systems with the same result. The text is short phases (for grade 1) all center justified. Looks like a bug in the far far away script.

    You need to change your project to 16:9 in File/Project Properties.

  • Problem with far away titles

    I have set up the far away titles with a photo background, the only problem is that the colour I set for the text are all washed out. If I set the text to black, then it does not appear at all.
    I just want the text to appear clear and readable in front of the photo.
    Any suggestions??

    What color are you using and what color is the background photo?

  • IMovie 13 how do I change the speed of the Far Far Away title scrolling?

    How do I change the scrolling speed of the Far Far Away wording?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks. I did try this and it slowed the scroll down. There is still a residual problem which is there is a certain amount of blank screen at the end. I thought slowing the scroll would fill this dead spot. By lengthening the duration of the title, the scroll is now slower, but the black screen has also lengthened.The current dead time is now the final 6 seconds of a 25 second title. Any help on cutting out the dead scrren time. If this were a straight video clip I would simply trim it away. Any way to get the scrolling text to fill more than 80% of the title duration?

  • Titles Far Far Away Text Color

    I cannot flush the yellow text color from the Title selection Far Far Away. Can anyone tell me how to do this? All other Titles in iLife 06 work fine.

    I have not had the problem you describe. I take it that you have tried changing the font color by using the font color box in the Far Far Away title pane, but without success.
    For the heck of it, try closing iMovie and trashing the FontCollections file (NOT the Font Book)located in User/Library. Then launch iMovie and see if the title works.
    If that doesn't work, check to see if you have any duplicate fonts, and delete (resolve) them. To do this, open the Font Book file on your Mac hard drive, and see if there are any fonts that have a black dot next to them. Those are duplicate fonts. Get rid of them by selecting each font and going to the Edit menu and clicking on Resolve Duplicates. Now see if the title works.
    If that doesn't work, close iMovie and trash the file com.apple.imovie.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility application on your Mac.
    Now see if it works.
    If that doesn't work, check to see if you have any QT plug-ins or other 3rd party plug-ins that might be interfering, and remove those to a different folder.
    If that doesn't work, the only other suggestion I have is to try opening your iMovie project in a new or different user account, and see if that makes any difference.
    Good luck with this. Post back with your results, good or bad, as they might help someone else with your problem.

  • Using Far Far away title, cannot align edges

    I am trying to make a nice far far away star wars type title which should look neat and aligned I am trying to create a fairly long title in imovie HD 6 and use the "far far away" title.
    I can't get the edges to line up , It looks fine in the window whrere you type but after rendering it looks awful, all out of alignment. I have tried different font sizes, all with the same result! I am using a common font Ariel.
    Anyone know how to fix this ?Please help much appreciated!!
    Cheers!

    Hi
    Don't know BUT
    are You aware of that space can be used in two ways ?
    • Normal - in end of line it accepts a cut BUT
    • [alt+Space] makes most program handle it as a letter eg 20° C will not be cut but
    moves over to next line as a whole.
    I use alt+Space to force the text to align and so on.

  • FAR and AWAY going into  bogie nights title - and speed

    I am making an intro to a video I am making for my wife's 40th birthday. In video I am starting with scrolling titles either far and away or the other one at scrolls.
    I want to have running copy on the screen that moves slow enough for people to read it then the last word will be. This is the story about....
    As soon as the ... is in the middle of the screen I want it to switch to the Boogie night title with my wife's name.
    What is happening is that the... fade off the screen and there is a big pause between the... and the boogie nights with my wife's name. How do I make this work smoothly and quick?

    The last item being this? ~> This is a story about.... (after the sroll title?)
    Without going into iMovie and trying to replicate your issue, what about just working w/ the Scroll Title ONLY in a project. Get it the way you want it. Export it. Re import it into new Project and then add the Boogie Night Title and trim it to your liking. Would that work? What do you mean by POP? Just a static title?

  • Far Far Away Movie Title

    I built an imovie with the Far Far Away title page with star background, but the wording that scrolls through the 20 second title is way too fast...hard to read that quickly. Anyone know how to put the brakes on so others can read the narrative that scrolls?

    Welcome Remax Godfather to the  iMovie boards ..
    if you want the title slower, just +grab 'n drag+ the blue title-'bar' in your Project window to any wanted length.
    if you want 'brakes' in your text, add 'returns' in your copy ...

  • Title "Far Far away" scrolls too fast regardless of its duration settings

    In iMovie 10, when I place the far far away title on top of an image that is displayed let's say 18 seconds. Than my text scrolls in the first 6 seconds, even though I configured the far far away title lenght to 18s. How do I solve the speed of scrolling?
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards,
    G.

    Welcome dohatch to the  iMovie boards ...
    select the star background clip in your Project
    click on the I(nfo) button
    set the time from 20:00 (=20sec) to your desired length.
    done..
    happy movie making!

  • The "Far Far Away" title is displaying a white box rather than the entered text.  Is there any way to restore the title code so that it works properly?

    The "Far Far Away" title (which I have used quite frequently) has stoped working and just displays a white box where the text should be displayed.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or have a suggestion as to a resolution.  This is in IMovie '11 Version 9.0.8.

    Thanks for the reply Russ.
    Yes, I've considered adding titles and/or generators in the FCPX storyline, but this creates a need to render the entire timeline. As I'm juggling library locations and hard drive spaces I just didn't want to add a new render that will occupy a lot of space. It's also a bit of visual clultter for me, so my goal is to find the best workflow for adding this stuff on or after export.

  • Hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this

    hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution, new Apps. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this condition, no one seem to care,
    i have a story about my sister, am talking on her behalf, she got stolen her phone at a caffee when she just come from a horeble exam, she was very mad and having haedace for not doing well at the exam, i ask her if we could have coffee before we go home, once she sate; while i was getting the coffee for her, some one snicked to her pocket and took the phone, immidatly she feelt it and went on to searching, but nathing was hopefull. what makes it more heart braking is that she worked day and night just to buy the phone and pay for her books and so on as a student. she use to work 16 houres a day before she had to start school. 8 houres in one place and then to the other place. and she was always demanding for more houres to work; one day her boss saw her on her other job and she was serprised to see her and saied OHhh my God Milly if you work like this, i wonder if you servive, how could you also ask for more houres, My sis had to do it she has no parents or any thing, well the phone was taken after only two months of having it. the sad thing is she stile dream having it even though she can't think of buying againe. well me i have tryed a lot of things but i know some were out there there is a solution for people like this, it is not always fare for some one who has payed up to 800 to just loose his ......  
    Thnks

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

  • Can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

    can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

    Hi
    Please rephrase Your Question - I'm not clever enough to get it
    There are lot's of Cameras that record in lot's of different ways that can be edited in iMovie.
    No iMovie can not use all Video-Codec's in the World - they are zillions and many needs to be converted to something iMovie can open and work with.
    • Still digital Cameras as Nikons - Import into iPhoto and then in iMovie Event's window import from iPhoto-videos title
    • miniDV tape Cameras - connects only via FireWire - then just Import from Camera into Event's
    • SD-Card or Hard Disk Cameras Connects most ofthen via USB and Import from "File or other"
    • from Internet - (out of my range - Guessing) - most will need to be converted into something iMovie likes - I would try
    - StreamingDV .dv - or -
    - AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
    So as You see - I don't get it !
    Yours Bengt W

  • HF10 and editing with iMovie '08

    Hey guys, I've been looking at AVCHD camcorders for about a year, but I've been waiting on a flash based camcorder that has comparable to quality to HDV. Looks like that has finally arrived with the HF10. I have two questions. Do you anticipate many compatibility issues between the HF10 and iMovie '08? (If there are, do you think Apple would correct this via software update?)
    Also, has anyone tried using the "High" video quality rather than "Full" in iMovie? If so, how does it look and how is it to work with? I doubt my computer (Macbook, 2 GHz and 2 GB of ram) would run smoothly using the full HD, and the high format would be more than sufficient for my purposes. I would like to use iMovie '08 for importing and organization, and iMovie HD for editing.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    You mean only FCut is the place to look for those effects?
    I'll take a good look at the sites you pointed out.
    Anything good about this outfit?

    *HERE is another nagging one for you* (if I may) - not specific to iMoviexx, but possibly affecting downloads, upgrades to iMovie etc...
    Concerns errors reported in Send/Rcv via WiFi on my MBP:
    I get a lot of Send and Receive errors - as monitored by Network Utility.app when on my wireless network. Actually 10-20 after just 1/2 hour of WiFi activity. Going thru a Linksys WRT54GL router into a HughesNet satellite modem. AND, if I PING another device on my wireless network, I often get LOST PACKETS. All an indication that at least in my case - and I hear the same many Forums denizens complain about similar issues.
    Now, as I download important stuff through the wireless network - say, the current many updates/upgrades for Mac OS X, iPhoto etc... and the MBP, do such occurrences render the downloads unreliable? I do not get any message of incomplete download or such as Install such wirelessly downloaded upgrades, but I am concerned about applying upgrades which would have been damaged by such xmission errors. OR, perhaps errors are flagged and "corrected" somehow??
    Meanwhile, I have recently started to download -especially upgraged - via a direct LAN connection between my MBP and the satellite modem. However, seems to be a setback to me, especially since my most mundane among my Win machines have no trouble communicating over the wireless network.
    Thanks again!
