Any way to add buts to a square shape in Essential Graphics? Like TikTok title boxes?

[deanr78548626]

I'm editing and adding text for TikTok through premiere and I'm trying to emulate the text boxes and font used in Tik-Tok. I created an Essential graphics preset but couldn't add the buts to the square box. ANy suggestions? Does anybody know of any presets that can do this? I use Premiere Composer but I cannot get rid of the intro/outro animation.

No clue what you mean here ... non at all. A bit more explanation or a sample of the shape you want would have been helpful.

Haha Neil, 

I'm guessing you maybe haven't used Tik-Tok, so I understand the confusion. Attached is a picture of what I mean. See how the outer corners on the text box are round (or butted), I'm trying to do that with a rectangle shape in the Essential Graphics panel to make a text preset.

Thanks Neil.

Expanded mask on a color matte.

Thanks, Ann! It's so simple but I keep forgetting it, as I don't use this much.Would be better if they simply gave more shape control options in the EGP ... maybe someday.

Thanks @Ann Bens ! And I agree with you @R Neil Haugen , would be great if it were an option so you could make shapes like that as an option in the EGP. Might have to UserVoice that.

Alternative you can draw a shape in the EGP,

make is full frame

drop mask and expand.....

or

draw a shape

add stroke in the same color

add round join and round cap........

The size of the rounded corner are somewhat limited in size compared to the mask expansion.

@Ann Bens  just posted how to do that here a couple days ago. Let's see if she pops in again.

How can I add this to my EG panel? I want to make a preset out of this. 

[Ann Bens]

You can save it as a preset from the effect controls but I would save it as a mogrt.
