iMovie mysteries

[poppi]

I am creating a new iMovie for the first time in a while. I have dragged several videos from the events files, inserted title frames before each, and inserted transitions between each one. I have set each of the titles and transitions to 10 seconds and all is well until I exit iMovie and reopen it later. That's when the mysteries start. 1) the titles are now 0.1 seconds and 2) some of the individual videos are shortened by several seconds at the end.

FYI I am iMac20" early 2008 O/S El Capitan 10.11.6 and iMovie 9.0.9

Suggestions will be appreciated

Sorry, poppi, I left iMovie 11(v9) behind sometime ago, but I can't recall that happening to me.

I think that your transition time is limited by the duration of the following clip. Thus you ccould not have a transition with a 10 second duration if the clip is only 9 seconds, say.

I had this for a while too, until I completely upgraded iMowie. Then everything opened normally after closing, I don't know what the problem is, but you can try
