Is it a limitation of this effect/title that I'm unable to have more that
Yes it is. however this can be fixed easily. The following cutom title would
allow upto 64 characters. Or if you want more characters change the value in
last line. Also you can tweak with other values. Fore more info on these
parameters see my article:

Copy paste the code below to a text editor and save as "newsplus.xml" in
"C:\Program Files\Movie maker\Shared\AddOnTFX" folder. Create the AddOnTFX
folder if not there. Restart WMM. Locate a new title in the titles lists
called "My News Video, Inset".
