Solid-Color Backgrounds

Welcome to the forum.

Actually, what you see as a black background, is actually a transparent background. If you place it over a Video Clip, you will see through it.

There are two ways to add a background of color:

1.) Add a color Matte, if you just want the color below and do not want any other Video to be seen. This will be below your Title, on a lower-numbered Video Track. Color Matte is created with the New icon.

2.) In Titler, create a Shape, sized to suit, and then change its color to suit. This can be a full-Frame Shape, or can be sized to only be below the Text, but small enough to let some of any Video below to show around the Shape.

Hope that this helps.

Good luck,

Hunt
