PowerDirector - Add a graphic background to a title with a color board

[@CenterCoastVideo]

That may be the best thing I have ever seen..I am going to use this process to create my thumbnails and snapshot them..Bless you so much for this

[@SharperTurtle]

I'm pleased you found this helpful. Glad I could provide it. Blessings back to you. --Jim

This is exactly the process I use. I often use a 50% opacity background just to help the text stand out from the video.

[@SharperTurtle]

Don,
Having partial opacity is often more classy than a solid color. Wish we could apply a gradient to a color board as well. --Jim

Thanks dude! White text is difficult to read in videos. But putting it in a shaded background around text makes it much easier and cooler to read without putting a non transparent sheet over any part of the video :)

[@SharperTurtle]

Glad you found this useful. --Jim

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Awesome stuff Jim.

[@SharperTurtle]

Thank you very much for your feedback, Keith. --Jim

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

Interesting. Thsnkd for posting.

[@SharperTurtle]

You're welcome. This is pretty basic, but not a bad technique. --Jim

[@KeithsTVHD1]

I will try this out.

[@SharperTurtle]

Hope it works well for you. --Jim

Hi Jim,
in the next tutorial you should try to run the text behind the tree, I'm curious to see how this effect comes with PowerDirector 18. In my opinion it would be very nice🌲

[@SharperTurtle]

Nice idea. I'll see what I can come up with. --Jim

[@lucianoauteri3223]

Jim,
it shouldn't be difficult to achieve this effect using the "ColorDirector" plug-in

[@bukomafriq]

Now that is interesting!

[@SharperTurtle]

Not to difficult for any version of PowerDirector. --Jim

[@PP3D]

Thank you.

[@SharperTurtle]

Not to complicated, but helpful. You're welcome, Paul. --Jim

[@PP3D]

You're right very easy but so easy that most of the time I missed it.

[@hobafrist3749]

Nice

[@SharperTurtle]

Thanks much! --Jim
