change color of text not working

[pariskal]

Hello, it seems i can't change colour of text after i have added a mask and changed/animated the text position. Before this it does change. I want to add the option to change the colour of the text when adding to a template. Any ideas? It might be something simple i haven't turned off or on. It's the SNE2 Composition. Thank you.

Have to tried adding the 'Fill' effect to text? This can then be use as a changeable value in motion graphics templates.

Hi @pariskal,

In the SNES2 composition, the "PARIS KALAMARAS" and "SINGER - SONGWRITER" layers are both being used as mattes for the "NAME" and "TITLE" Shape layers above them. This means you'll need to change the fill color of the "NAME" and "TITLE" layers in order for the color change to be visible since it is the pixels of those Shape layers that are actually being shown.
