Fr my new level I need an intro, like the ones where you are on a lift or something and go past words. I also need it to stop at certain points so the player can see what is happening properly. How do I do this?!

What you need to do is use boxes of DM, Dissolve, and lots of magnetic keys. With this you can do almost anything. To make it stop at certain points, I would put an inverted mag key switch on a platform connected to a piston, connect the mag key switch to the piston, and made each area where you stop have a mag key on a piece of dissolve and connect it to a gravity-powered timer. You can be creative, there's plenty of ways to do this, you just need to plan it out first.

Both of my latest levels have that type of intro.. If you want I can give you the structure of it. Just add me to your psn. Basically is an elevator in the back layer with a set camera, and then you put the intro in the front layers. Let me know

The player doesn't necessarily have to move. What I did was put everything on pistons off-screen and leave the player trapped in a box (with the option to skip with R1) in the back layer. This way, you can make a skip mechanism so the player doesn't have to wait for your introduction every time they play the level. I just made a block on a piston with a magnetic key that triggered switches like a timer in order to set the order of events.
