This is a very effective effect and surprisingly easy to achieve and the only software you need is VideoStudio. You will however need Version 10 or higher because this procedure relies upon the ability to insert a VideoStudio project file

Step 1.
Start a new VideoStudio project, Select the Text Tab
Image

Step 2.
Just as the screen prompts you to, type some text onto the preview screen
Image

Step 3.
Adjust the duration that the text will appear on screen for. You can do this by dragging the right hand edge of the text.
Image

Step 4.
Alter the color of the text - plain green is perhaps best because later we will be using a chroma key on the text.
Image

Step 5.
Alter the font and font size to something of your liking
Image

Step 6.
Apply animation
Image

Step 7.
Customize the animation if required
Image

Step 8.
Add more titles if required.
Image

IMPORTANT - Do NOT place any videos on the video track at this time.
Image

Step 9.
Save this as a VideoStudio project file
Image

Step 10.
Start a new project
Image

Step 11;
Place a suitable background video on the video track
Image

Step 12:
Insert Video
Image

Step 13:
Navigate to your project file you have just created
Image

Move the VideoStudio project \"Video\" to the overlay tack and then resize it to fit the screen (Right click it on the preview screen)
Image

Step 14:
Select [Mask & Chroma Key] on the attribute tab
Image

Step 15:
Apply Overlay options
Image

Step 16:
Use the eyedropper to select the text
Image

Image

Image

Enjoy
:D :D
