Move text block in iMovie?

Hey,

I am used to being able to move text blocks in iWork when creating a Keynote or Pages document. For the text on the transition slides, I can't figure out for the life of me how to relocate the text. I have changed the font, font size, all that. How do I relocate it?

Thanks!

Hi

Relocate in time or in space ?

Space - where it appears in the picture. NO I don't think iMovie can do that at all !
Yes it's very basic - but still no version of iMovie has offered any free text tool.

In FinalCut this is very Basic - but it's tough to get started in - but if easylearner
then the freedom it offers is great.

Time - When it should start in the movie - In iMovie 1 to HD6 text oriented to start
from where the video was cut - could only use clip-start as start points.

Not too familiar with iMovie'08 to 11 - but I think that it's the same. Anyone please correct me.

Yours Bengt W

Some of the titles move, like Star Wars and Ticker Tape.
But you cannot move the words around on a path. You need Final Cut for that, as Bengt mentioned.

Another option is to export your keynote as a QuickTime movie with timed advance. You can import this into iMovie.
