  Anirban, It's not really clear to me exactly what you want to achieve. I understood that you were asking for shiny text, but it seems to me that the text in your example is essentially static, with slow in/out fades. The effects appear to be

  RE: I cannot insert a title. I follow the instructions and when I press 'T' a black title box appears. I type in my title and press the arrow. A clear, resizeable box appears, but no title. I click the preview screen but the box disappears.
  Hi.  I don't have MEP2013 so am not sure exactly what you mean by "press the arrow". The most common reason, IME, for titles to "disappear" is because the font colour is not one that can be seen against the colour of the background, e.g. Black

  RE: When I use the alpha option to give text color and texture, there is only texture and no color.
  jmorrell, Assuming you meant '...take the color and texture from (the picture)...', I think all you need to do is apply the alpha effect to your title, not the picture below it. Alpha effect makes that track control whether you see the track
