In the following youtube video I'm going to link, the person has a really good, cool looking scroll background which he places his text over and their are sparkles going over the screen. It looks really good and I don't know whether that is just a background and then he has another layer with text over it or what.
What program is this person using? And how does this person do it? I mean, it's basic but I'm a noob to video editing outside of Windows Movie Maker and I really want to know how to do this. I want mine to look really good like this.

Sounds like a link spam.
I think,therefore i am a hamster. -
Hmmm... when someone tells you 3 times it's "really good", then alarm bells do start ringing.
So click the link & hit that thumbs down icon. That'll teach 'em. -

A quick example I did in less than 2 min.

I just couldn't find a good scroll background, and one more question please, the same person has another video which I'll link, how do you do what he done with the background, it looks like he embedded another image in a background so it's like faded in within the background and he put the text over it.

You could steal the scroll background from the youtube video -- there are frames where the scroll is blank. Then you overlay text onto that. Then you overly the animated particles onto the whole thing. Actually, I think the guy overlaid the particles before overlaying the text.
<edit>
I did all of this with AviSynth. Starting with a blank scroll image from the Youtube video:
I overlaid some text:
And made a brighter version to overlay onto it:
I created an animated mask by finding a frame with little or no "snow" and subtracting that from the video, massaged it a bit to remove some noise and get it into a suitable range. One frame from the mask:
Then made a video overlaying the bright image onto the text image using the animated mask:

As of now only two other sites with the same spam:

The international brotherhood of annoying spammers must be disappointed. -

Those types of things fall under the broad category of "particle effects". Usually they are produced with a particle generator in effects programs like After Effects , Hitfilm, etc.... aviutl can do some of those for free. You can purchase pre-rendered versions at various web stores as well that have stock footage/ templates (e.g. videohive.net), and you just drop the layer onto your video editor or compositing program.
Obviously something like WMM won't work here (you need multiple tracks/layers) . A free multitrack editor/compositor is aviutl. You can do this with avisynth like jagabo showed above, but avisynth is all code based (typing scripts - so can be difficult for a beginner; but it's very useful and powerful once you learn the basics) -

So I checked out this videohive.net site, it's really good with a lot of stuff and I'll definetely purchase some things in the future.
For the overlay graphics like smoke, rain etc. All I have to do is drag that into the overlay track right? Thanks, you guys helped me alot -
It's supposed to work that way in most programs. I don't use videostudio - you might have to do some extra steps like interpret the alpha channel. Most of the prerendered videos should have "alpha channel" or transparency. But there are different compositing or layer modes that you should have in videostudio, that when combined with opacity levels that can give you different types of final effects (e.g. you might want particles brighter, or show up more, or sometimes you might want them to glow, or more dim, etc....) -
@ jagaboo you are the Avisynth master............
Yeah everything is adjustable with settings like speed, seed, direction, rotation, variable swirl and opacity.Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........ -
I just verified that VideoStudio (X17) automatically sees the alpha channel.
