What you’ll learn

Fill text with video

Create a mask using a bold text layer and the Track Matte option. This works best with large blocks of text.

Improve visibility

Add a copy of the video under the text graphic in the layer stack. Adjust properties like scale and add effects like a drop shadow to make the text more readable.
