Dzikiewicz Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Hello. I am new to Affinity and I have something that I need to do, but Im a little stuck. I have a video from Zoom where the presenters name is superimposed on the bottom left. The trouble is that the presenter name is incorrect. I wanted to use Affinity to create a text layer that I could add to iMovie to show the correct name. Ive taken a screen shot from iMove and pasted it to Affinity. Now, I am adding a layer and adding the text to overlay with the proper name. The problem is that the name in the screen shot is still there. So, I need two make the background of the text box opaque. For example, white letters on a black background. Maybe the solution is right in front of me, but I cant seem to get it. The goal is to take that text layer and save it so I can put it in with iMovie, Picture in Picture so that it is displayed on top of the incorrect name Quote
Komatös Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Hello @Dzikiewicz and welcome to the forums. Use the shape tool to add a rectangle that is slightly larger than the text layer. Rasterise the shape and place the text layer over it.

Dzikiewicz Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 I may have found my solution. I added another layer and used the rectangle tools to put a black box there. Then I added another layer and using the text tool, I put white text on the black. This seemed to work out find Dan C 1 Quote
