imovie

My idea of a text overlay has the following timeline:

In-transition >> Static display >> Out-transition

For this project, I am particularly fond of iMovie's Organic Main text overlay. I want it to display for an extended period. The problem is, when I set its display time for 3:20 (minutes:seconds), it performs its transition over the whole period. The text would won't be fully seen until the next 3 minutes.

This is what I want:

In-transition for 1 second
Static display for 3:18 minutes
Out-transition for 1 second

Is that possible with iMovie?
