I found out how to insert a black background onto the timeline.
But no luck adding the title.
???

Seven,

When in the title room, did you select a title format and drag it to the title track?

If not, then select the title layout you wish to use and drag it to the title track. Set the duratin to the desired length. The title and the color board should be the same duration.

Now double click the title in the title track to open the edit window. Once in the edit window you can make the necessary changes to the text, positioning and other effects you desire. A single click in the area of the text activates the text box for sizing and positioning, and double clicking in the area of the text allows editing the text itself. You can change the font, color, alignment, etc..

Do you mean "create a new title template"?
I can access this, but not create what I want.
I cannot get the black background and it still comes out like a subtitle on the screen.

This is how I do it:
Under "Edit" there is a drop down selection box, select 'Colour Boards' and drag your colour to the video track.

Go to the title section and select the default sample and drag it to the 'Title' track. Now double click on that title and it will take you to the 'Title designer'. Now double click where you see the words 'My Title" and type in your text matter. There are two ways you can formulate your text. In both these cases you must hi-lite your text matter. (1) At the top (above your newly inputed text matter) are the variables for modifying your text. (2) you can use the various types of text designs at the left. Select one of the designs to see if it is suitable for your requirement. Be mindful there is a 'TV safe zone' on the edit screen. Down the bottom right hand corner (just above the word 'cancel') is a drop down box. Make sure you have the 'TV safe zone' on. This is a guide to help you position your text so that it is within the tv screen viewing area. The box beside it is where you can position the text. Play around with it and you will get the idea.

Once you have the text as you want it, select ok.

To select the duration of the text you: (1) click in the colour board and a 'duration' button will appear above, select it and input your desired time. Repeat for the text line. You will have them both the same.

For a bit of flair you could put in a transition between your text and the actual video. Just drag your desired transition after the colour board.

Hope this helps.
