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.

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 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:
http://www.rqs.ca/
which works a treat, but now costs $19.95!

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.

Editing the "Far Far away" title in iMovie

I was wondering is there any way to slow down the word in the "Far Far Away" title with out changing the time of the whole title?

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 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?

How can I slow down the "Far far away" title?

I want to slow down the title so I can read the information without extending the picture length. Is this possible?

1. Press the Crop button (seen on the top right bar where "reset all" is located)
2. Change the "crop to fill" or "Ken Burns" to "FIT"
3. Press the button that looks like a speed gauge on the top bar... press it and on there should be a label named "Speed"
      and next to it is a drop down menu... Use that to change the speed
     - Here you will see "Normal", "Slow", "Fast" and "Custom".
     - Choose either option
     - I recommend choosing "Custom" so that you are able to control the speed by a percentage interval
If you have any questions, please reply!

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.

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

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 ...

I shot a video using my iPad 2, and it is too far away from the subject. How do I zoom in and save the whole video like that? Thanks!

Sorry to be such a moron with this, but I just don't have much experience with this iPad. I have had it for over a year and I just keep adding stuff to it and it has worked great. Now that the memory is used up, I am trying to figure out how to free up space and not lose what I have paid for.
So, Step 1 is complete, as I have "Transferred" all of the purchases.
What is Step 2? I unchecked the concert on the iTunes library, did a sync, but it's still on my iPad.
Thanks again for the help!!!

Hi ShantellePhilips,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your brother's iPad is using your Apple ID and phone number, and you want to remove this association, you can reset your Apple ID password. See this link for more information:

Note: If you no longer have access to the [iOS device] that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

Want Time Capsule far away from my modem. How to add to existing Airport?

Hi,
I have a dome-shaped Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) connected to a Comcast modem. I want to leave it as it is, but I would like my Time Capsule (TC), to be located far away from the modem, to "join" or "extend" that AEBS network.
I had it set up that way at one point, but then switched out the TC drive to a new 2 TB and then connected it directly through Ethernet to my two MacBooks to back them up more quickly. (FYI, I upgrade MB drives a lot and they aren't always recognized immediately by the TC, sometimes have to delete a sparsebundle and start a new backup--why I have to do that for it to work sometimes, no idea). But after backing up my new MB drives over Ethernet, I can't now for the life of me seem to get both the AEBS and TC onto one AEBS network. My Airport Express joins the AEBS just fine to play music, but not the TC anymore. It only gives me the "extend" option and then tells me that my AEBS "cannot be extended."
My dome-shaped AEBS lists version 5.7 and was WEP 128 secured, but I tried WPA2 Personal most recently as the TC didn't list a WEP 128 option in Airport Utility. The TC lists version 7.4.2. I have the AEBS set to b/g and the TC to its full range.
I know how to use my Mac pretty well, but I only mess with setting up Airports or TCs once a year at the most. I don't know how all of the moving parts work or work together. Various dialogue boxes will confuse the ** out of me. YET when setting up the TC originally somehow there was an option to have the TC "join" the AEBS network, not sure if since updates have removed that ability. Only since replacing the drive and turning off the TCs wireless settings to make it work over Ethernet, has the TC no longer been willing to join the AEBS.
I don't want to be a networking master, I just want to be able to configure my network quickly and easily so my less valuable (to me) AEBS will be in my living room with my modem while my entire electronic life is backed up safely in the attic to my TC that stay out of sight from thieves, etc. You'd think Apple would have built-in this ability MUCH more easily than they have! What's the point of having your only backup sitting right in the living room in the middle of all products you're backing up? If your laptops are valuable enough to steal, so is the shiny white Apple box underneath your TV. And then you have no data, no photos, no memories.
OK, done editorializing. Anyone know how to walk me through getting this BACKWARDS TC/Airport setup running? And anyone know how I could then revert to Ethernet if I want a faster connected backup sometime and then jump right back to my BACKWARDS wireless setup? Tremendously grateful for any help!

My Airport Express joins the AEBS just fine to play music, but not the TC anymore. It only gives me the "extend" option and then tells me that my AEBS "cannot be extended."
When configuring the TC with the AirPort Utility, you just need to hold down the Option key before making the selection in order to get access to the "Join a wireless network" choice.
My dome-shaped AEBS lists version 5.7 and was WEP 128 secured, but I tried WPA2 Personal most recently as the TC didn't list a WEP 128 option in Airport Utility. The TC lists version 7.4.2. I have the AEBS set to b/g and the TC to its full range.
First off, WEP is no longer considered secure, so it is highly recommended that you use either WPA or WPA2 for security. However, if you must use WEP, you would have to change the Radio Mode on the TC to one of the non-"n" choices in order to configure it for WEP 64- or 128-bit.
YET when setting up the TC originally somehow there was an option to have the TC "join" the AEBS network, not sure if since updates have removed that ability.
Again, holding down the Option key will provide this option. It was not removed with any of the firmware updates.

I need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store.

I spilled some red wine on my keyboard and i cannot connect to the internet any more. it says on the internet icon: Wi-fi: no harware installes. so i guess i need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store. Also, I do have a macbook with software system:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). can I take out the wifi card from that mack and use that one for my mac air?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

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.
