    Text as Mask for a Video?

    Posted by Fran Zine on February 18, 2010 at 4:28 pm

    Hey Guys.

    Can somebody tell me how I can do this? (but just with a video as background)
    –> https://www.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/180210172327_L__sung_Herbst.jpg

    I’ve got a video and I want to run a Ttext through this video.
    It dont need to be black and white in the background like in the picture.

    I want that the text has the same color/background like the video in the background.

    I know how to create a shadow on the text an I know how to run the text from the left to the right, but i dont know how it looks like the background.

    can somebody help?

    thanks a lot and greets from germany
