Ann's correct ... simple to do in the EGP. No need for the Track Matte ... which I use without issues all the time btw.

    This one is done with the track matte.

      Ah, thanks for your hidden link! 🙂

       

      I found "my" mistake: I did not used the crop filter to create the rectangle in the background of my text line – I scaled the solid fill (German: Farbfläche)! 😞

      That caused the distortion of my transparent text line ...

       

      Now I have 2 options 🙂

        The track matte effect has been buggy for years. At this point in time all you can do is pound sand  :  )

          Thought, all would be better after using CS6 for many, many years, than jumped to the newest CC version maybe 1,5 years ago 😞

           

          I can't believe it! It's really horrible 😞

           

          I tried switching to software renderding, cleared cache etc. before, in the last night... (as it is mentioned in the video) – but now I know that I have to switch to another piece of software ...

           

          ... or maybe it is possible to do this circumstantially with After Effects ...

           

           

          Thanks  for your response.
