Edit app preview titles in iMovie on Mac
iMovie includes a set of titles designed to showcase apps in action, available only for app preview projects. Some of the titles are named to indicate specific functionality:
Scale: These titles shrink a clip and place a title above or below it.
Bar: These titles include a text block and color bar. Some of the text blocks can be positioned vertically.
You add app preview titles and edit title text in the same way as in a standard movie project. For more information, see Add titles in iMovie on Mac and Modify titles in iMovie on Mac.
