Steve Grisetti Aug 27, 2013 7:57 AM (in response to JSS1138)Jon's suggestion will work in Premiere Elements also.
You can add this background right in Premiere Elements' Title Adjustments workspace by using the drawing tools and setting the color to semi-opaque black.
EDIT
I see that the Title Adjustments drawing tool does not let you color with alpha or make a semi-opaque background.
To make a semi-opaque rectangle for your title background, you'll need to add the shape to a separate video track, between your video and your title, and set the opacity to 40-50%.

Bill Hunt Aug 27, 2013 2:27 PM (in response to hollanditus)Robert,
Placing the Text in Lower-thirds over a Shape is a great way to get what you want.
Another, that would not require a Shape (or a Color Matte), would be to apply a Style to your Text, that separates it better from the background.
The choices are basically asesthetic, and I use either often, depending the size of my font, my background, and other factors.
Good luck,
Hunt
