I was working on imovie and creating a video for a school project. But when I dragged a title down I couldn't type a message in it and I couldn't change the background to a different color to make it look interesting. So the title was a black with no words. Please help! I'm desperate and I need to get this project finished soon. Thanks for any help or advice!
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
You can edit some title styles (about half of them - mostly the simpler ones without sophisticated effects) but not others. As to why you have to ask Apple.

If you are using the new iMovie 10 (iMovie 2013), drag a different coloured background from the Maps and Backgrounds panel directly onto the existing background clip, then select Replace from the pop-up menu.
As GeeD mentioned, most (if not all) of the newer titles can't be modified unfortunately. But you should be able to change the background colour, as I suggested.

Why won't iMovie let me use backgrounds on titles or let me type in anything on certain titles?
