  Overlapping videos + text

  Posted by Charlotte Deelstra on January 7, 2008 at 6:46 pm

  I am trying to overlap a sequence of my video with text. I’d like it to be a black + white text – black letters, white glow around it. (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xQja0XMxfg) My problem: when I make my text black, it becomes transparant. Can anyone help me out here? I’d be greatful!

  I also want to let two videos overlap and work at “their Video FX”. But when I place a video on for example the fourth track I can’t the Video FX isn’t visible anymore. What do I do?

  I did not see an example of what you were talking about when I went to that link. But if you place the standrd text with see through background (Checkered alpha channel) and set the color to black. Place it on a track of its own above your video. Then use the track motion and click on the 2D glow.
  Black text with white glow ow whatever color glow you want.

  PS be sure the alpha slider is set to zero. Thats the end opposite the black.
