None of my strategies (such as dragging the title longer) for slowing down the Far Far Away title in earlier versions of iMovie appear to work.
Can it be done?
OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Mac mini i5 2.5GHz & iMac FCP X
Interesting. I also have just managed to slow down a Far Far Away title with Command plus minus key when the title is selected. Even more interesting is that the title now follows the old rule - i.e. it always completes at the end of the title so extending the title duration slows the scrolling. It was also possible to copy and paste this title and the copied version behaved the same.
BUT
A second added Far Far Away title in the same project did not change. Neither did an added Far Far Away title in a different project. In these cases the command and minus changed the timeline scaling moving the settings slider to the left.
Then in another project which already had this title I was able to do it again.
I have a suspicion that the 2 titles which 'worked' were ones which had been added in earlier versions of iMovie but I am not sure. I have not been able to slow down titles which have been added in iMovie 10.1.

I'm equally as frustrated. I tried all the suggestions posted and nothing worked for me. I miss the older version of iMovie 😟 is there a way to downgrade the version of iMovie?
"is there a way to downgrade the version of iMovie?"
Only if you have a backup of the old version and of your library as it was in the old version (i.e before updating to 10.1). You will of course loose any editing you have done in 10.1.

I too am frustrated that Apple has not patched this, months after the fact. What is with them not addressing this? Seems simple enough fix. I happen to be working on a SW project, upgraded to El Capitan and now regret it because it broke my iMovie project. I'd pull out my hair if I still had any.
I found a solution that doesn't involve iMovie at all. Download the app CrawlCreator on your iOS device, make the intro you want, then import that intro into iMovie. It worked perfectly for my son's Star Wars birthday video invitation.
Fantastic! A simple but effective solution. It worked great!! You are my hero : )
No need for workaround anymore. iMovie 10.1.1 corrected the bug.

This thread is an old one, with the most recent post that I see on it being January 2016.
In any event, the Far, Far, Away speed glitch has been cured in iMovie 10.1.1.
Oops. Didn't see the second page of posts. Haven't had my coffee yet. 🙂
Slow down Far Far Away title in iMovie 10.1?
