  • Can I change See-Through Tex to NON-See-through?

    Posted by Jimmy Page iii on July 24, 2014 at 8:43 pm

    Hello all! Thank you for reading this as I’m sure it’s a dumb question:

    It’s a little hard to explain so I’ll start from the top:

    I downloaded a font that is block-text, like letterman jacket or something like that.

    However, in After Effects, when put this text over the Video, the Font was revealed to be a stencil!
    So the video plays through it and the font is essentially splines.

    If i put the font over a white solid, THEN the face of the font looks correct (white) but then how can I make it stay this way (font-face filled in with white) while still having it over the video?

    Is there a way in AE, either through Keying, or whathaveyou, to make it so the “Face” of the font stays white? Thanks so much!

    I’ve been experimenting for hours and haven’t found a solution.

    Try using the paint bucket effect.
