Goto Tab on bottom right of workspace that says 'Editing', once there, go to top tab that says Titles and select the one you want. When you like how it looks and have the playhead set to where you want it, click 'Add'.

I can do that, i mean, say you've got the video playing, and you want to put some words over the video, while it's playing. can it be done?

I don't think so in iMovie. What you are looking for is LiveType and it's for the Final Cut series of products.

What bmcgonag said is correct, but what he forgot to mention was to ensure that the tick box is NOT ticked.

I havent used imovie for a few months (now use final cut) but the tick box when ticked puts the title (words) on a black background, whereas if its not ticked the title will be superimposed over the underlying video.
