I'm sorry to say, Bengt - indeed, there is! 😁
FCPX little brother, iMovie v10 uses the same keyboard-shortcuts, so it allows this simple workflow:
• select the range you like to replace by clicking on the start-point, wait a second,then drag the yellow selection to the out-point in your projects timeline to mark the section (or, use the keyboard-shortcuts I and O)
• select the Black-generator
• type Q - abrv. for qnnected.. sorry, silly German humor…:
this will create a connected clip to the section you just had selected
• add Title to that
Hi
A. I do not have iMovie'13 (vers 10.0.x) - and there might be smarter ways to do this.
B. I would
- create the Text on Black background first as an individual movie
- add this as a new Event (Share first then Import)
- Now use this as a Cutaway movie in Major Movie Project
