How can I place a video inside of text with a different video behind it?

Question

I have searched and have not found a way to do that.

Placing a video inside of text is easy, but it only seems to work with a "shape" background.

I really really need to have video inside of text with another video playing behind the entire thing.

Has anyone found a way to do that? I Googled, I YouTube'd, all to no avail.

I am hoping I just didn't look hard enough. but I tried.

Thank you.

If you mean you want the video to play inside editable text instead of a vector shape, then the traditional video term you might look up on the web is “track matte.”

In the picture below you see:

1. Text on V3.

2. Bird clip on V2.

3. Water background on V1.

4. In the Effects panel, the Track Matte effect was found with a quick search, and dropped on the Bird clip on V2.

5. In the Effect Controls panel, Track Matte Key / Matte was set to Video 3, meaning the Bird clip is matted within the clip at the current time on V3, which is the text.
