Using upper AND lower case fonts in iMoive - How?

The title style called "Standard" is in all upper case by design. (So are all the titles which display in the title viewer as "TITLE TEXT".)

Why not just use another title style which does allow lower case such as "Reveal"?

I've tried and there will be black shadows on the corner of the titles.

i'm using "expand" at the moment, however, when the title expands, the lenth of a line will be extended, so the text will change to fit in the size of default text frame. (try with a sentence takes two line and you'll see)

help! is there any way that i could add a text frame or so?

I'm not sure I understand what you want. Is it that you have a long title and text gets too small and you'd rather have multiple lines?

You could use one with a subtitle

If you don't mind having static text (no animation) you could use a basic one like "Upper" or "Centred". These offer maximum choice over fonts and you can use the return key to do do rudimentary formatting by choosing where you want to start a new line.

This thread was discovered because I'm having the same UPPER-CASE-ONLY issue with titles.

One thing I've found that works, but isn't easy.

+ Make your title with KeyNote

+ Export to quicktime

+ Import result into iMovie as event

+ Place the short upper/lower case clip from KeyNote into the movie

For changes, repeat all the above steps

I decided to go with option #2.

+ Continue using the previous version of iMovie

I have found the solution! (At least on my machine).

Delete the text COMPLETELY from the timeline.

Insert a new one where the preview a font that it is not all in BLOCK CAPITALS.

Insert this where you need it.

Done!

It appears iMovie gets stuck on BLOCK CAPITALS when you select a title bar that has them. Clearly a bug that needs sorting!

I hope this helps 🙂

Caps lock off?

Your English is very good. If you insert one or two spaces after "over" you can probably force the second line to start with "40" during the whole animation.

I went with the "Centered" Title option. It took care of the CAPS issue for what I need to do.

I have exactly the same problem with titles randomly having a hard return inserted. I've tried everything so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful.

This is bat crap crazy. The apple engineer that made these titles all caps needs to be taken out and a 'cap' busted in his ***.
