Make a solid layer and add the basic text effect to it. Change the colour of the text to white. Put it above both of your videos in the comp.
Put the video that you want to appear as text inbetween the solid layer and the main video. Make sure you’re in the ‘mode’ tab (click ‘Switches / modes’ to change between ‘switches’ and ‘modes’) and click in the ‘track matte’ drop-down list (it should say ‘none’) and change it to either Alpha matte or Luma matte.

Hmmm…. expressions seem like a very important aspect of AE, I should probably start learning more about them and the possibilities they bring.

Thanks for the answer.

Duh, forgot to say that I (Echarin) changed the name in my profile after the initial post, so me and Echarin are the same.

Ah, goody. Will be good to have some classic flash to watch on my GBAMP while I’m on vacation.
But I digress. Thanks for the advice. The program works great and is really easy to use.
