Hi!
I'm trying this but my drop-down menu doesn't give me the option to add freeze frame. What am I missing? What do you mean main video line?
The text is right on top of video line. Thanks!

Here's how I do it and it works fine for me in iMovie 10.1.1:
At first I had the same issue which I got around by first adjusting my text to the desired length & font, then dragging the text to the main video line (that is if you're using text as overlay), right-click and select add freeze frame. A freeze frame of your text will appear - removing the fades - delete the front and back ends of the original text file, drag the freeze frame back over the part of the video you want to overlay your text on.
