You can now create and edit projects in iMovie 09 using themes. These themes will automatically place titles and transitions in between your clips as you add them to iMovie 09.

To start lets create a new project by clicking File > New Project. The new project dialogue box will now appear, here you can choose your selected theme.

Now you will have an empty timeline in iMovie, you can start adding content to your timeline as you usually would by selecting and dragging video from your events into the timeline. As you add video footage you will see that the opening title is created.

As you add your second clip iMovie 09 will automatically add the ending credits title to your video project, don't worry as you continue to add video to your timeline the ending credits will get pushed back to the last clip each time.

So you can continue to append video to the end of your timeline to order your video as you want it.

iMovie 09 will also add transitions in between some clips that match the scene automatically, any transition and title can be edited simply by click on the title or transition.
