Titles "jump" iMovie 10.2.1

I'm putting titles over a background in a short video and most of them are "jumping." That is, in each 4-second title, the words appear and then a second or two later, the words jump into a different position. They're still in order, but they may move from one line to the next. I can't use the video with this happening, and it's happening for nearly every one of the six titles in my 1-minute promo video. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Hi, Ebony415,


Try deleting preferences, as that often cures glitches of this nature. To delete preferences, open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and select to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects.  Deleting preferences is a safe procedure that will not cause data loss or disruption to your project.
