How change location text in CNN iReport theme?

Hello - I'm using 10.0.4

When I use the CNN iReport theme, it has the location at the start of the movie, but it for some reason is pulling my current location, as opposed to the location where the movie clip was actually filmed. I'm guessing there is an easy way to fix this - I just can't figure out how! 🙂

(I would have expected to be able to either click on the location text and edit, or go the bottom where you edit the clip and scrollable text for the bottom of the movie (but it won't let you change the text for the location)

Any tips would be great-

Thanks

iMovie '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Hi

Where did You find CNN iReport theme in iMovie'11 ?

Please - can You try to add a Screendump (picture of Your View) to help me see/understand the problem. I only have a NEWs theme and when applying this to TimeLine I get a Green box above my Video-clip and by selecting this I can change the text in it on the Canvas/Movie screen.

So here is a screenshot.

My version of iMovie says 10.0.4...(I'm always confused by what version that translates into, however).

You can see the location says "Menlo", but I would like to change that-

I stumbled across it accidentally... 😁

In your project, select the title bar for the transition with the map. I clicked on the transition (under the white line, that looks like ><) and then clicked on the title bar above the clip (in yellow, with "9.6m - CNN Report")

In the 'adjustment' window in the upper right, double click on the picture to be able to edit both the title and the map location.

Before double clicking:

After double clicking:

Click on the globe in the upper right to change locations:

It will then show that location during the transition (in this case, for as long as the blue bar is):

on a side issue to the cnn ireport theme - take caution.

i applied update 10.1.2 to iMovie (29th may 2016) and the theme was removed from my daughter's macbook pro machine leaving red backgrounds and exclamation points/marks ! throughout her project/timeline.

i cannot rollback the update because i haven't applied time machine as a backup
