How do I add a transition to my text without it affecting the video it’s attached to?

[Loren Risker]

Attach to the text to the primary story timeline by selecting the text generator and hitting q so that it sits on top of your video (or a gap).

That should let you put a fade or dissolve without affecting whatever is underneath it.

Loren,

I’ll try that with some other transitions like ‘Earthquake’ Fade and Cross Dissolve are the only 2 that will work when I add it to my text.

Thanks!

That didn’t work for me either… I even tried starting the project with a place holder and making it opaque and attaching the text to it. The Black Hole transition I added affects the video too

🙁

Make the text clip a secondary storyline and your problem should be gone

[Robert Bracken]

nope, this is still affecting me too. Let me know when this has been resolved!
