<p>I've just started using iMovie 10.1.4 and I've been trying to get rid of this annoying drop shadow effect. I created a new title, chose 'centred', typed the text I want, and set it to a light grey colour. But whenever I go into video preview, or watch the final movie, it comes up with this drop shadow shown below.

Is there any way to remove this? Any help would be appreciated!</p>
