I created a background with a title at the beginning and end of my imovie. However, when I save it to file, the movie shows a black screen at the beginning and end. I would like for the title to appear when the movie is shared and then loop back (but not play automatically) once the movie is played. Is this possible?

Hi,
A project shared from iMovie and then played on QuickTimePlayer will play through to the end and stop (unless you have it set for automatic looping, that you said you didn't want). It will not jump to the beginning and stop. If you have black frames before the first title and after the last title then the black frames will display when the movie is stopped at the beginning or end.
To work around this, import the shared out movie into a newly created iMovie project. Trim off the black frames before the first title and after the last title. Then share out the project. The newly shared movie should now play to the end and stop, with the end title displaying. When you click to play it again it will jump to the beginning, displaying the beginning title, and then moving through the movie to the end where it will stop with the end title displaying.

Does the shared out movie show a black screen before and after the title, or is the title itself black?
Can you describe what you mean when you say that you want the title to "loop back"? Are the titles at the beginning and end of the movie identical titles with the same text?

The shared out movie shows a black screen before the beginning title and then again at the end after the credits (another blue background with title). By looping back, I would like for the video to go back to the beginning so that you see the title screen again to start a replay.
