jimswinder Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I want to overlay a WHITE text over a solid BLUE and GREEN background. (#gohawks) Is there a way to do it so it stays WHITE instead of it incorporating the BLUE and GREEN ( #superbowlchamps) and so turns the WHITE text pink and all sorts of other colors?

BrianBruderer Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If the text does not move then you can make a text "Neg mask". With a mask you can put any effect you want in a time later above mask and it will be in the background. Put any effect you want in a time layer below the mask and it will appear in the foreground. In your case, you can use scenes to make a blue and green background. Make another scene that is white to make a white foreground. For more details, there is a tutorial. Go to the lightorama main page, click on Support, then click on "Video Tutorials". The superstar tutorials are at the bottom. Look for:"SuperText Advanced Techniques" If you need text that moves, such as text that is like a marque, then you cannot use a mask and there is no way to have a background that is independent from the text color. So in conclusion:If your text stands still, you have full control of the background and foreground If your text moves, then you need to have a black background or else the background color will effect the color of the text as you describe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Lambert Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Sure you don't want to change it now? You'll at least have it correct for half the game. Edited January 18, 2015 by Darryl Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
