If you are not familiar with “RECTS”, please refer to the Rects Mode topic.
When creating effects on a rect timeline, it is possible to add several layers and drag different effects onto
each layer.
Click here to add or remove a layer (1)
In the example below, there is a gradient layer with an overlaying text layer. The text is currently blocking the
effect. Colors can be made transparent by right clicking the text layer and selecting properties.
- Click here (1) to enable masking
- Select the color you wish to mask (in the example below it is the text background color, blue)
- Adjust the tolerance here (2)
- The opacity of the layer can also be changed
