How to change the name of the "studio" in iMovie '11?

URGENT!!!

I'm not trying to use the names of the "famous studios" out there. All I want to do is change the default name of the studio for some one I created. I know that when you are creating a trailer, it should appear the line to write the name of your studio. The thing is that I already converted the trailer into a project and I finished it (after 2 long weeks) but I didn't realize that the name of the studio still was the one iMovie gives you by default and I defenitely want to change it. So please, I hope you can answer as fast as you can.

Thank you so much.

Just double click on the project. You can change the studio name in the outline tab.

Thank you for the answer, but I still cannot have access to the outline tab. When I double-click on the project it ONLY allows me to change the name of the project but not the one of the "Studio". Please, help me solve this. I have to deliver the project in two days.

By the way, I'm in love with the Netherlands. Hope I can go there one day. Thanks again for your answer.

It sounds like you are clicking on the title. Click anywhere in the blue that is not the title. Try that.

How does holding the control key help to edit the 'Studio' name?

No

it was just a wild guess as this (in my iMovie'11) opens up a menu set with more options.

Thank you, guys. But I still can't.

You see. Dutch boy uploaded an image and I see the icons are different. The one he is clicking on is like a movie ticket which means it is a trailer, but I try to change the name of the studio in a PROJECT, not in a TRAILER. The icon I have is the same you have in "Lush-Coffee 3", the sheet of paper with the upper right corner flipped down. If I double click in the title, it only allows me to change the title. If I double click anywhere in the blue that is not the title, it opens the project to edit it. And if I press ctrl, it only gives me the options to export the project.

Here is an image to show you.

Please help.

Hmmm. I understand better now. But now I have a different question. Where is the 'Studio' in a Project? I only see it in a Trailer.

That's the thing. As I said in the fist post, it all started as a trailer, but i CONVERTED it into a project so I could use the templates but edit the video as I please.

Okay, I see. So you're talking about the credits at the end? If that is the case, I'm not sure it can be edited in Project. Can you make a new one & drop it in?

Maybe you could create a new clip in Trailers, convert it to Project and then insert it to your current video project.

NO. At the beggining. The opening screen with the mountain in the back that looks like PRMOUNT PICTURES, but instead of LOREM IPSUM, I want a different name. A name I created.

Okay. We're closer now. But the solution may be the same. Create a new Trailer with the right studio name, convert that to a project and replace the old clip with the new one.

Select your trailer as in Dutchboy's picture above. The click File/Convert To Project.

Now open the project and go to that credits page. You can edit it there.

Thank you, DutchBoy. I was hoping there was another way, like just typing, but your idea was good. I created a new template with the new name and I replaced it.

Thank you very much. By the way, I been created the clip (which lasts more than 15 minutes) but I've been deleting some things I didn't need, since then, iMovie has been VERY slow. I realized that there's a button who says "Free space", what does it do? It deletes everything? I'm afraid to delete thinks I need. Plus, what does the button "Finish project" do? Should I hit it first before I export the video? And clicking on it will "block" the video and prevent it for further modifications? Sorry if these questions look silly, but as you can see, I'm a new user of iMovie.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

Where do you see the 'Free space' button? I suspect it just deletes the trash. Is the 'Finish' button the 'Finalize' button. To export the video you will need to "Finalize" the project.

It does not block it, but if you want to edit it after it is finalized, iMovie will prompt you that you need to finalize it again.
