Q: Livetype - title font is a video rather than solid colour.

Hi,

 

I have a question and have no clue what it would be called or even how to describe it. I am editing a video and for the title at the beginning I currently have just a white font on top of my footage. What I would like to achieve is that within the title like the characters is a separate video. So I want to apply seperate footage to the title and have it over my background footage.

 

I hope that makes sense, if any one has any idea how to do this or a link to a tutorial please help!

 

Thanks,

 

Scott

    Bring the video into LiveType using the Place Background Movie command under the File menu.

    Write your text. With the text layer selected, go to the Inspector:

     

    Select Attributes > Matte and set the Matte To button to Background...
