When you want to emphasize text in a scene, you can add a background color to the text placeholder (text box) to create a contrast between the text and the background.
This feature is especially useful in the following two cases:
| 1. | When adding text over a video asset. As the video plays, the text may blend into the video in certain sections. Having a background ensures that the text will always stand out. |
| 2. | When applying the Minimal or Lite theme to your video. As both these themes include translucent elements, adding a background color will highlight the text and prevent it from getting lost in the scene. |
Note that the background color is applied only to the text and not to the entire placeholder. As the background color is a component of the animation, it moves together with the text.
To add a background color to text:
| 1. |
Select the text placeholder with the relevant text. |
| 2. |
In the right panel, select the Design tab. |
|
The text background color options are displayed: |
|
 |
| 3. |
Define the background color using one of the following options: |
|
This is the option that is selected by default. |
Select one of the seven colors that you defined in the brand configuration for this video.
Note:
If you select a brand color for the text background and then change that color in the brand configuration, the text background color changes as well.
For example:
| 1. |
The Accent 2 color is selected as the background color for the text. |
|
|
|
| The text background color is updated. |
|
 |
|
| 2. |
In the video's brand configuration, the color for Accent 2 is changed and saved. |
|
|
|
|
The background color is immediately updated in the placeholder and in the right panel. |
