Question about iMovie

Okay, well I'm starting to edit a video, and I have a shot of a car moving towards me, which is my intro. What I want to do is start the screen completely black, and over about 10 seconds, fade the black out into a shot of the car moving towards me. Do you get what I mean? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You need to add a cross dissolve transition and change the settings so that it lasts 10 seconds.

Ah okay, that makes sense. So I would have just a black square, a 10 second cross disolve leading into the shot of the car?

sorry for the late reply and that kind of thing yes, link me to the finished video when its done i want to see it!

Keep in mind your actual clip needs to be long enough to support the dissolve effect as it overlaps for the effect to happen.

the transitional stuff on the right side of the screen just below your video preview--you can make it any color you want as well.
