iMovie Save Title Clips

Hi,

Create a new project named Titles/Text. Put a black background in the timeline and make it, say, 1 minute in duration. Then go back to your original project and select the title/text you have made in the timeline, do an Edit/Copy of the title, and then Edit/Paste it into the Titles/Text project above the black background. You can do that with as many titles as you want and save them all in the Titles/Text project as a library of titles. When you want to access the titles for a new project, go back to the Titles/Text project and select the title you want, do an Edit/Copy of the title, and then do an Edit/Paste of the title into the new project where you can make your edit to it.

O.K. You need to be working with the titles themselves, that you copy and paste from and to your library project and your current project. Maybe this screen shot of the Library/Text project will help to illustrate:

See how the titles are all lined up for use in the timeline. All you have to do is select one in the timeline and Edit/Copy it and then go back to your current project and Edit/Paste it in. It will be a live title that you can

edit. For ease of storage you can keep the titles in the Library/Text project fairly short because

you can stretch them out once you paste them into your current project. Likewise you can copy and

paste titles from the timeline of your current project, and then paste them into your Library/Text project for

future use. You don't need to "save" anything because projects in iMovie automatically save themselves. You

are in effect "saving" the titles by placing them in the Library/Text project.

Hope this helps.
