Q: How to put "counting" effect as a video in the background of playing another video WITHOUT it having covering the original video?
If you got confused from what I said, I'm basically saying that I put the color of the counting up text as white, but the color of white will cover up the another video I am playing...is there no "transparent" color? Thanks!!

Reading this again, I believe you mean the counting generator in FCP X.
I realize that when choosing the text color there is no option to set its opacity.
I see two solutions to this:
1) In the inspector, with the generator selected, click the Video tab. Under Compositing, change its opacity; or try it with different blend modes instead of "normal"
2) If you have Motion, control-click the generator in the generators browser and choose "Open a copy in Motion". In Motion, under "Blending", publish the Opacity parameter.
