Mestre Rob fazendo escola!

[@joamai1204]

I tried your trick and it worked ! Thanks ! A trick that I came up with is that, when you create your text box, if you can make the outline of your text bigger, it will create a separation from the back ground, and you wont have this problem when erasing it ! :)

[@TeamRonDi]

Good tip Joa, thanks 🙏

[@garyjonesjr.7015]

Thanks for the session, it would be nice if Canva Pro had a feature where one can utilize the gradient feature in one press of the button.

[@jaylalee73]

Right!!

[@TeamRonDi]

Yep, I agree. It would be nice if Canva came up with a button or an effect for that! Maybe one day 🤞

[@clare-bumpyroadway8600]

This worked perfectly first time for me! Thank you so much. I had tried another tutorial to create text masks from any font and no matter what I did, it would not work like it did in the video. I was ready to give up and then found your solution. Brilliant. (Oh, and I loved how you showed the "glitch". I'm sure that will happen to me many times in the future.)

[@TeamRonDi]

I’m really happy to hear that this hack worked for you! Hopefully one day Canva will come up with an easy solution to create text masks 🤞

[@clare-bumpyroadway8600]

@@TeamRonDi yes, that would be great. They have so many awesome tools, it's suprising they haven't created one for that yet.

[@dianneason]

Thanks so much for this tutorial, Ronny! I really enjoyed following along and doing the steps with you. I had the same problem you did with the first example. You made me laugh out loud when you said you could just run the background remover a hundred times. I always enjoy yours and Diana's videos so much. I appreciate you both very much!

[@TeamRonDi]

Hi Dianne 👋 Thanks for the lovely message! I'm glad my joke made you laugh

[@janetbunday8774]

Great tutorial Ronnie! If you put more spacing between the letters before downloading, it may be faster when removing the background from the upload (without having to use the eraser) :)

Excellent video. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for a while. Thank you 😊

[@TeamRonDi]

Oh great! There you go 🥰 Thanks for watching Heather 😍

[@ComedorDelrico]

Thanks for keeping it real, Ronny! I bet you could do this with shapes, too.

[@TeamRonDi]

Most shapes also have a frame version, so that makes filling them with a gradient easier.

[@ComedorDelrico]

@@TeamRonDi Oh, yes, good point! If you wanted to do something like a circle or a star, you could just use a frame. I was thinking of something like a bird-shaped or butterfly-shaped element. If you found a solid element with a simple design - like a solid silhouette shape - you could use this technique to add a gradient to it.

Canva just needs to implement a gradient fill for text. CorelDraw has had this for probably 20 years. Since I also have CorelDraw, I would create the gradient filled text there, then export it to Canva. Same thing for filling text with a photo.

Hi, always great content. A question: is it possible to animate font color where for instance blue color jumps from one word to the other when we try to follow a voice over? Hope I'm making sense. Thanks in advance!

You could achieve that result by starting a video project and having your text separated onto different pages. Each time a word changes color, it would need to be a different page.

[@RobertAdducci]

I'm having a problem with this and I wonder if it's because I'm using a vertical gradient instead of a horizontal. I've tried outlining the text and using various amounts of transparency. It only seems to work with straight black text, which defeats the purpose. I think one of my problems is that some of the gradient colors are very light so there's not a lot of contrast, which is why I tried using a text outline, but that' didn't work either. Any suggestions?

[@TeamRonDi]

Sorry you are having issues with this trick Robert 🤔 I’m not sure what’s going on.

[@RobertAdducci]

@@TeamRonDi No worries, I had a friend do what I needed. But I really think it's either the horizontal gradient or because I was using a very light color (almost white) for one part.
