  • Creating a fancy text box?

    Posted by Mark Murrin on April 13, 2020 at 6:02 pm

    Im not sure if i’m searching on the right word/term here, but ive been digging around trying to find out how to make a box with text in vegas that is more fancy than just a standard color with text.

    Something that might have a title bar at the top then a different color for the main area text. I’m guessing maybe i have to just create one or find some template in say photoshop then bring that in to vegas and overlay the text somehow.

    Anyone have any insight into the right term here or the right method to create something like that? I couldnt really find an image example unfortunately.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Mark!

    If this is the type of thing it’s called a LOWER THIRD:

    All those functions available in Vegas Pro.

    Thanks, actually im talking more like this, something with title and a box below with text, not sure if this type has a name. So far i can only reproduce in after effects.

    I guess I don’t understand what you mean by “fancy text box”. What are you trying to create on screen? The example you give is confusing.
