It is not possible in iMovie 11.

It is possible in Final Cut Pro.

I have also heard that there is an App in the Mac App Store that can do this. It is called TransformMovie. I have not tried it myself.

Final cut pro X? and thanks for the quick reply, I'll check on Transform Movie, but proX for $300 seems like the way to go. Is what ever I do in 11 easily transferable to proX?

Yes. You can import iMovie Projects and Events to FCPX.

It seems overfill if this is all you need to do, but FCPX is a great tool. Takes a while to learn all the capabilities. I am using it more and more.
