I hope this is the correct place to post my query on Movie Edit Pro Plus?
I want to add a simple Title (in plain white text) but with a plain colour background rectangle so it is more easily visible against what's going on in the video behind it. I don't want a picture background, a special effect, just white text on a rectangle that I can colour, i.e. with a colour that the white text will stand out on. For the life of me, I can't see how to do this!! Thanks for any help!
Hi
I use an image of the correct aspect ratio eg 16:9 placed on a lower track number than the title as shown below
If you want the colour to fit the title only use the Size & Position effect to change the image height/width
You can also use any image as shown below

As an alternative method to @johnebaker I use the cookie cutter to produce a background colour.
Set your text to where you need it and then copy and paste that text to the track directly underneath.
Then on the top track add the cookie cutter with the following settings.
Click on the colour picker to choose your background colour.
It does need the two copies of text to work for some reason.
