iMovie Themes

How can I get more iMovie themes other than the 14 already installed? Is there a trusted 3rd party that can be downloaded directly into iMovie?

Hi, Run-2-Win,


There really is no feasible way to get more iMovie themes from outside iMovie. iMovie does not accept third party plug-ins. Some people have tried to adapt the iDVD themes to iMovie, but that method is not often satisfactory.


One feasible way that can work from within iMovie is to open a Trailer project and crib some themes from there, as there are many of them. Create a Trailer project, chose a theme, and then do File/Convert Trailer to Movie. That will give you a movie project with the trailer theme, and you can substitute your own photos and videos as you see fit.
