I just got back from D.C. and would like to put together a little movie. I read a "manual" on Apple but it isn't right or I don't know how to read. I can put the pictures in and know how to mess with the transitions but how do I put in a Title and music? Forgive me if this is a stupid question, I was really thinking about taking my iPhone 4 to the closest Apple Store and have an Agent help me but I dont know if they will and it's an hour away, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out! Thank you so much, in advance.

I'm a newbie at iMovie too but was just fooling with it to see if I could help you. I opened a movie project and was fiddling with stuff before seeing the little T shaped icon on the far right side of the iMovie window, clicking it, then a box popped up with possible titles on it, formats that it could be shown in. I grabbed one, dragged it to the beginning of the movie, and then clicked on the new title page. I could then make changes to the text and play with it from there. Hope that helps at least a little.

See, I think I have the movie part of it down, but what about when you want to make something from ONLY pictures? I see no T anywhere. There has to be a way to add a title, like for mine it would probably just say "Washington D.C." Or can you not add text to photo only projects?

I guess from what I am reading you can only add text to a video project. That's a real sh***y deal.

Ok, maybe the problem is that I was talking about iMovie on my Macbook Pro, you're probably talking about it on your iPhone. That's probably it. Sorry, I don't have it on my phone yet.
