If I've understood your issue correctly then I would suggest you treat the title and the animation as two separate additions and not as one.
Video animation in track 1, Title overlay in track 2 for example.
You would then save the project (pds) and reuse/insert it into another project and alter the Titles.

Hey, thanx. I want to do a new Title template, and I have a background animation made and all the PNG files for the animation, but some how I cant insert the animation as they have been insterted into ready-made titles, I can add only particles.

Hi Rainu -

The attached PDF file shows how you can modify existing PDR templates containing animation files. It involves replacing the existing files with your own.

The method described above is more straight forward & allows you to control the speed & duration of the animation. The drawback of building the animation files into a template is that they keep looping if duration is extended.

This title template was made using the steps described in the PDF - http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/detail/124826723

This PDtoots tutorial shows the steps in more detail - https://youtu.be/Aoxs-elMuJ4
