Preset 2D text box.ffx

Can anyone tell me what the preset "2D text box.ffx" does? It's in the Presets/Shapes/Elements folder, and I'm not sure what it's for. I'm just curious.

It creates a shape layer that will fit behind a text layer no matter where you move the text layer. 

With no layers selected, double-click the Preset. Make sure there is a text layer in the composition. Then all you have to do is select the appropriate text layer.

Podrías también utilizar Adobe Bridge para tener una vista previa de lo que el efecto hace.

      It looks like you would apply it to a shape layer and it will create a new rounded rectangle (called "Text Box"), with controls where you can select a text layer to size it to, and lots of other customization parameters.
