Can't change the title of iMovie

I'm editing some old movies. When done, I export the movie and give it a name. But when I open it in quicktime, it says "My Movie 1" (or 2 or 3...) in the title bar. But in Finder it shows the correct name.


How can I change the "Title Bar" name that shows in Quicktime?


Using iMovie 10.2, MacBook M1

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.1

Assign the name to the video when you first save it as a project. It will display that name in the iMovie project browser screen. Then, when you export the movie to your desktop it will bear the same name that is shown in the iMovie project browser screen. When opened in QT Player, the QT title bar should have the same name as well.


Otherwise, you can double click on the QT Player title in the title bar and a drop down will show the title that you assigned.
