Hello to all,
does anybody know if there is a way in iMovie 10.1.1 to edit the speed of titles (scrolling credits in my specific case)?
I know that extending the duration of the titles adjusts automatically the speed but I am trying to find a better solution: i need a real speed editor.
Thanks in advance for any hint on this

No. Only way is by adjusting the duration of the title. What are you trying to do?

Hello GeeD,
thanks for your reply. I am trying to balance a video with scrolling titles of different type at its end. I use a combination of scrolling titles, zoom titles, and again scrolling titles. Since I found it difficult to find an equilibrium by operating on the extension of the duration of the title, and since the speed editor for the clip works well, I was wondering if there was something similar.
I guess I will experiment further with the adjusting the length solution 🙂
As a workaround, you can create a new movie for each title you want to use. Then share/export the title movie to your desk top as a Mp4 movie, and then
drag that movie into your current iMovie project. The title movie will then be a clip to which you can apply the speed function.
Further idea - if the title is shared after placing over a green background as well as being able to add freeze frames, zooms etc as well as speed changes, it will be possible to use the green screen function to place the modified title over any clip.

Never thought of green screening it that way. I just tried it and it worked beautifully.
Just thought of the idea after reading your post and realising that the title would have already to be over the desired clips and any editing would affect both title and clip. Tried it out and as you found, it works OK. If the title is green use blue screen instead. Modified titles can be saved as clips in events and reused.

"Modified titles can be saved as clips in events and reused." - got carried away - you can't edit the text any more so this is not very useful.
