There should be a function to export to LiveType. File>Export>Export to LiveType. If you have and In and an Out set in your sequence it should export only the section you have inside these points.
As far as the black movie goes....have you toggled off the visibility on the left side of the track that contains your movie? Perhaps your movie was exproted incorrectly and you output only black? The only other thing I can think of is that you have some kind of element on a text layer above the movie in LiveType that is obscuring your view of the movie.
if you can't get the portion of the movie you want into Livetype try creating a new sequence and deleting everything EXCEPT what you want to send to Livetype. Then export that entire sequence to LT, when you are done creating in LT bring the LT file back into your original cut and everything should be groovy.
