i split my entire movie into clips at the appropriate intervals for subtitles (using cmd-T).įirst of all, i notice imovie allows adding multiple subtitles, but i couldn't find a way to sync them to my movie. Then i read your post and tried following your advice. this worked well but was extremely slow, so i looked for a more efficient way. I managed to create subtitles one by one by splitting my movie with cmd-T, typing my title, dragging the slider and checking the preview until the title appeared for the right length of time, and clicking "add". i'm frankly baffled at how crippled and useless this newer version is. perhaps you could enlighten me?įirst of all, i had to use imovie hd (6.0.3) because imovie '08 wouldn't import my movie clip.

Then add 1 title per clip for your subtitles. Then start with the next frame of your video, and add the frames for the next sentence that you would want to subtitle. Adding text to your movie involves choosing a style for your title, positioning it, adding the text, and then choosing the type style. Select the frames in your event that you would want for the first subtitle, and add them to your project. So the secret is to add one clip per subtitle. It is a little tricky because there is a limit to how many titles you can add to any one clip. You can open the font window to adjust the font and size if you want.
