NO NO NO!!

Look closer in the black bos to the top right, and look at the bottem of the black box!

I see "05:12 + 00:26 = ..." It gets cut off there!

Same down a bit above the bottem left on the screen it says "00:0" and it gets cut off there, same with the "(ntsc" the other ")" Is cut off too!

I need this fixed someone know how!

Obviously one of us doesn't understand the other.

This means nothing. When you preview your text. You will not see this. What you will see is."My Great Movie" bouncing into the center of your screen. You can add or change the text in the box below.

Unless I'm way off. Maybe you should take the tutorial. I think it covers text.

GRRR!!!

OK LOOK!!!
WHAT IS BEING CUT OF HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TEXT THAT YOU PUT OVER YOUR MOVIE, IT IS USED TO TELL YOU HOW LONG THE TEXT WILL BE ON THE SCREEN.

IT SHOULD ONT DO THAT! GOTO YOUR VERSION OF IMOVIE AND LOOK!!

NOW SOMONE TRY AND SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM NOT A MISTAKE!!!!!!

I had the same problem. It has been awhile, but I remember that the solution was taking one of the fonts out of my font folder. I think the font was wingdings.

I hope this helps.

The font that needs to be removed is called 'curlz MT'.
