Fonts fonts and more fonts

Welcome back!

Today we all had a bit of down time and began to edit our documentary film. Through the past year and a half we have always used iMovie to edit. It works perfectly and is super simple to use. However, today we have ran into our first problem while editing... we can't seem to agree on a font!

Fonts in our opinion are so important. Its kind of like giving your writing, title, or caption some life and expression on its own. If your font dosen't match your film it makes it look extremely odd and out of place.


If you see here, this is the only list of fonts iMovie provides you with. We are all trying to figure out which fonts work and which don't.














To the right, I put a screen shot of all the places where we can actually place the captions through the film. Like I said before, we have worked with iMovie before and knew there was limited places where we could actually place the caption. This time however, since we might have to use subtitles for my grandfathers interview and are required use much more captions, it might be a bit harder. I searched up online and found different ways to force the text to be where you want it to be but it's however still so hard.

Until next time!
