It is not possible in iMovie. iMovie does not allow 3rd party plugins.


Apple's Motion app can create new titles and effects, but it integrates with Final Cut Pro X, not iMovie.


You could create a title in Motion and then save it as a quicktime movie. Then you could import the quicktime movie into iMovie, but this is not ideal.


If you create a custom title in Motion, you can access it in Final Cut Pro X and use it in all your projects. You can choose which parameters can be altered when you use the title, such as text, font size, font, background color, etc.etc.


It is also possible to create a title or a text slide with builds in Apple's Keynote app. You can save this as a QuickTime Movie and import it into an iMovie Event.
