Curved Text shape

Hi,  does anybody know if there is a way to curve the edges when using the background text option? I want the coloured background shape to follow the text to look like many of the captions on TikTok, with rounded edges. There are many options to choose a shape behind your lettering in Express, but the ones in this style all have square edges and I don't see an option to round them. Am I missing something?!

 

Thank you!

No you are not missing anything.  Please remember that AE is template and shape driven first, with only basic editing of actual shapes.    I did it, created the rounded corners, and matched the color using Photoshop Elements.   Total time: maybe two minutes.

I created the shape in PSE, matched the color, saved it, then uploaded to AE. 
In AE I resized, and positioned the shape. 

It's a clunky methed but it works.

Any number of free tools online can create rounded corners on text boxes.

Yep, that is a lot of extra and unnecessary work - looks like I'll be sticking to Canva!

 

Thank you for taking the time to give a comprehensive response.
