Adding Text

How do i add text to my video, and also how do i add a pure black screen for
a certain time?

Click on "Make titles or credits" to get to the screen to add text over your
video.
For a black screen simply create a black image in Microsoft paint or any
other paint program, save it as a BMP file and import that. Drag it to the
timeline and, in timeline view not storyboard view, you can drag the right
edge of it to make it as long or short as you want.
