(new to PD - today!)

Is there a way to "scale back", maybe change the opacity, of a background image in a title? The attached shows what I am trying to do, but of course isn't usuable!

Thanks,

Brian

A black title will only stand out when your (background) image is fairly light. You can choose another picture, or another moment in the clip to show the title, or move the text to a spot that is more different to make the text stand out...
Opacity will not help you much, because the picture will become darker, which with a black title does not show.
There are many options to make the title stand out, some examples attached, including: make the ttext of a different color that stands out, give the text a border. or a border and a shadow, or even put the title (if you want to keep the black) with its own white background, either a bit faded or full white.
Have fun!
