iMovie Title duration

Default duration on most of the titles in the bank available is about 5 seconds, but on Ticker it is 30 seconds. This is inconvenient since inserting this title at this length overlays and wipes out pre-existing titles in my project.

Is there any way to alter the default duration of the title in the bank of titles? This way I can insert the tile at a short length and then lengthen it to fit into the space in the project.

I am running iMovie 10.1.16 on Catalina 10.15.7

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Hi, Rigadon1,

There is no specific feature where you can change the default title duration. However, you can shorten or lengthen the duration of a title by press dragging the right hand edge of the title's icon in the timeline. That will also increase or decrease the playing speed of the title. So, shorter time, faster speed. Longer time, slower speed.

If you want to stack titles you can create a new auxiliary project and add title No. 1 to the clip there. Then share out and import back into your main project where you can now add title No. 2.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your reply which kinda confirms what I found through experiment. I think the answer is to use a different title with a shorter default duration!
