  Putting video inside text.

  How do I make it so that if I have text I can make it so instead of having just a color black to the text, I can have a video playing in the text?

  More of an after effects basics post — but here you go —

  Put the video layer below the text layer, and set the track matte to “ALPHA MATTE.” You can toggle that on and off with F4. It is taking the opacity of every pixel in the text layer and applying it to the video layer.

  There are other ways, but this is the nice and simple solution.
