If you would like to display your text as a text panel with a plain background, follow these instructions.

1. Insert the object “colored background"

Colored background

Drag “colored background” from the toolbox into the timeline

In the Toolbox under objects you will find in the backgrounds area colored background. With this you can display texts independently of images. The colored background can also have a fade in or out. Drag the colored background from the Toolbox into the Timeline and position it at your desired location.

Info

If you wish to position your colored background precisely on a certain point, you can use your mouse to drag it from the Toolbox to the desired position in the Timeline or Image list. If you hold down the mouse button and move between the existing objects, a red line appears. This line serves as an indication of where thecolored backgroundwill be inserted when you release the mouse button.

The same principle also applies to other objects.
