Premiere Elements 11: Creating horizontal scrolling caption on black background over video

I want to run a horizontal black bar near the bottom of the video frame in which a horizontally scrolling caption appears.

The sequence should look like this:

- plain video

- horizontal bar appears across full width of screen, near bottom

- text starts to scroll from right to left across the screen

- when the last character of the text has disappeared off the screen, the black bar disappears

    This is an example of what I want to achieve Brewery Junction to Ashburys via Phillips Park and back - YouTube​ - my question posted itself automatically while I was searching for the example on Youtube :-)

    1.  Add a "Black Video to Video 2

    2.  Crop the "Black Video"

    3.  Put a "Default Crawl" title on Video 3

    4.  Optionally the Opacity of the Black Video can be adjusted for some "see through".

    Hi whsprague, just curious if could you do this with a black color matte as well?
