I m trying to do a simple text mask on a video.
I have a video layer and a text layer on top that I convert into a mask (create / create masks from text).

I copy this mask and paste it on my video layer, and it just create another layer with the outlined font.
Can someone give me the trick to mask the video with the text outlined.
Thank you

Hi Lucas

All you need to do is put your video layer beneath your text layer and then change the TrkMat pull down menu to alpha channel. This will use the text as a matte for your video.

Hope this helps,

Steve
