@Arch If you're new to motion tracking, check out my tutorials 40, 41 and 42 which cover the basics. They're on my You Tube channel 'Veteran Video Editor'.

If you're just trying to "move" text, I would not be using "motion tracking" as you're not tracking any motion. Instead you're simply wanting to "move" text.

Now, you CAN use "Track Motion" to do that (and it would be a good way to do that) but it's not "motion tracking". You would simply need two keyframes:

1. At the beginning with the text in the beginning location
2. At the end with the text at the ending location

While Track Motion can do this, it is at the track level which might be confusing. So you might look at some alternatives that are at the event level instead. The two I would consider:

1. Pan/Crop - works similar to Track Motion but is at the event level so it only affects that one event
2. The Text effect - just add keyframes on the position of the text parameter

 If i want text to move with a characters head or body then it's extremely difficult.

I presumed from that statement that the OP wanted to attach text to a moving object.

yeah I used to use crop but when I tried using the location for text elements it was confusing because with crop if I moved ahead in the timeline it also moved the preview with it, however with the timeline and keyframes on text it does not so my main question was how to have it behave similar to the crop timeline, if that makes sense. I didn't know about track motion since I don't really use track level stuff but thanks for the info.

I want it to be above a object/person and move along with them. Using the motion tracking didn't help alot

I'm using the "animate" button next to "location" on the text element btw. It always says the length of the timeline is 3:29 even if I cut or snip it.

Edit:
To be more specific in my question. When I play the main timeline to preview my footage to see how the keyframes for the movement of the text element looks, I have to go back to the "animate" function and guess where the change I want to occur is on the animate timeline in correlation to the main timeline. Unlike the crop function where if I click somewhere on the crop timeline it takes me to that spot on the main timeline. Essentially the crop timeline and main timeline are synced but the "animate" function and main timeline are not. Which makes using keyframes really difficult imo, which is why I'm asking if I am using it incorrectly or if there is a setting I am missing. ect.
