    I am not sure what you mean exactly by “dissapear behind objects”.

    If you are talking about, like text dissapearing behind a tree as camera passes by, this could be done by animating a mask. Appli a mask and the reposition it using shape parameter.

    ok, but i was thinking more along the lines of the text disapearing behind a pole or statue in the video. so when theres a panning shot with an object like that in the shot i can just set the text and have it go behind that object and come out the other side of it. if that makes sense?
