Add the Channel Combiner effect between Minimax and Tint. Change "From" -> "Lightness", and "To" -> "Alpha". Twirl open the Text Layer in the timeline, twirl open the Channel Combiner effect, and open its Compositing Options. Set the Channel Combiner's "Effect Opacity" to 0% for a 100% opacity box, or set to 100% for a 0% opacity box. You still have control of the colors by using the Tint effect after Channel Combiner.

To round the corners of the generated box, add the "Matte Choker" effect after the Simple Choker. Then I use these settings but you can play around: Geometric Softness 1: 20 Choke 1: 15 Gray Level Softness 1: 3% Geometric Softness 2: 0 Choke 2: 0 Gray Level Softness 2: 100% Iterations: 1

@BuffaloByte2 жыл бұрын
Fantastic! I was playing around with this and found that you can set it up to adjust the Minimax vertical radius and horizontal radius separately. Then you can control the top/bottom padding & the left/right box padding. In the Minimax effect, change "Direction" to "Just Horizontal". Then duplicate the Minimax effect (select it and hit CMD+D) and in the duplicate change "Direction" to "Just Vertical". Now you can change the "Radius" separately. Just Horizontal changes the left/right padding and Just Vertical changes the top/bottom padding. Thank you so much.

The problem with this one is that the height will not be fixed. If you use this for your subtitles, and they're in small letters, the height of the box will be jumping up and down (up: you see the p extends downward, down: the d extends upwards), so it's helpful if you want to use capital letters only.

Hi Shane! There's lots of ways to animate this effect. To fade the text box on, you could duplicate the Text Layer, delete the effects from the top Text Layer, and then select the bottom Text Layer (the one with the effects). Open Transform > Opacity, hit the stopwatch to set keyframes, and set the 1st keyframe to 0 and 2nd keyframe to 100. Boom, fading text box.

@@GrafismoCanal This effect stack is looking at the full bounding box of the text layer. The Typewriter preset lowers the Opacity to make it invisible, but the layer's bounding box (its real size) doesn't change. You can add a Scale animator with value of 0 to the Typewriter preset. Add it next to the Opacity property in the the Text Animator. Animator 1 > Add > Property > Scale > [0,0] Or you can manually keyframe the Source Text property to change over time.
