Hi,

I'm testing the PowerDirector trial and like it so far.

Adding videos and images, resizing and changing position etc. is mostly inuitive.

Only thing which I couldn't get done so far is text within a box with a semi-transparent background. Like it is done in this Facebook video: https://www.facebook.com/goodgoodgifts/videos/476990769311655/

Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Thanks

Hi videonewb -

Easy as! (though PDR cannot dynamically match the shape to your text).

You can:

use a title template like this one (the background translucent image is included in the template), or

drop in a colour board and set the opacity to 50%, with the title overlaid.

The attached screenshot shows the template in situ.

Cheers - Tony
