but I still want the video to show underneath...when I do it you see the text and a black background, I want the background to be the running video

The black background of the titles are transparent. So if you put your video clip on track 1 and the title to track 2 or the title track, die text appears on top of your video clip.

I thought that would be the case but when I did it , it showed as black background.

Or is that only in the timeline and preview ? Is it that once you produce it then it will show as text only ?

No, if it is in preview, it will be in Video.
What exactly did you do?
Which videoclip on track1? Which title from titleroom on track2? Same time?
And then the black background from the title covers the video clip?
Can you provide a snapshot of your timeline?

You'll find short tutorials on all kinds of ways to use titles here. (And much more.)

Do you know what the earliest version of YouCam to have this feature is? Mine doesn't, and it looks like the upgrade they want me to make doesn't have it either.

Sorry, I don't know YouCam. Perhaps others can answer this.

Thanks, Phil.

Perhaps if I reframe the question a bit: If I wanted to buy some video-making software which would allow me to add text to video and allow me to do just a few basic tricks with the text, such as fading it in and out and scrolling it, and I didn't want a bunch of other bells and whistles I'm not going to use, and I wanted it to be as inexpensive as possible, what would you suggest?

Thanks,

Steve
