I think I see your point with having 6 titles. I imagine having my video clip in Video Layer 1, my title with varying opacity in Video Layer 2 and my title with text crawl in Video Layer 3.
This is sort of how I’ve tried to implement your suggestion where I took the title that has text crawl and copied it to video layer 2. I then altered the title in layer 2 to have 0% opacity but that just makes it all invisible.
My brain is not working well enough this Friday to figure our how to make the text crawl layer a solid color or even opaque. Do I want to adjust the opacity in the “Transform” box or the “Object Style-Fill” box or do I want to adjust some other parameter?
Basically I guess I’m asking how to make title boxes that just have backgrounds as you suggested.
Thanks and have a good weekend
