Inserting text box on top of a moving text box

I have a product video that has many text boxes with a background color. In order to show this video to our customers I would need the chance all content of the text boxes before that.

In most of the cases the video is moving in the background and text boxes are in the same position but 2-3 cases the text boxes are moving also.

Is it possible to insert text boxes on top of a moving text box? Is it difficult? Could you kindly advise how to do this (step by step)?

Below you can find a few clips from the video.

Thank you for your help/comments/advice in advance!

    Are these boxes and text that you've created in Premiere, or are they baked into the footage and you're trying to cover them up?

    You should be able to track the moving boxes in PPro or AE. However, each new box will have to be fully opaque in order to fully cover the original box.

    Just keyframe the motion Properties:

    Make sure to have the correct text box in a video track above the incorrect text box.

    Although you can do some basic motion graphics in Premiere Pro, the best application for this is still After Effects.

    If you create a motion graphics template in AE, you can adjust any specified parameter in Premiere Pro.

    Here's a tutorial:
