Before we start the step-by-step tutorial, we want to show you some of the demos that how cool text video shapes YouTube Video Maker can create!
Examples of Text Video Shapes:
Example 1
In this type of text video shape, you can see blue shadows(free to customize the shadows in any color) and hollow-out parts on the text. And the transparent parts of the text were occupied by a video.
Example 2
In this type, you can see the transparent text was filled with a part of a video and its text outline is ambiguous,
Example 3
The text of this type has a mirror effect, so the video can fill both the text and its mirroring text.
Example 4
The special point of this one is that it has a clear text outline so you can easily see what the text is when the videos in the text changed so fast that your eyes are dazzled.
Example 5
Strictly, it is not a text video shape but a good title style text for the intro and outro. So I want to share it with you here in case you need it.
Example 6
In this text video shape, we can see two lines of text piled together. And the top and the bottom parts of the combination are hollow-out and around white shadows. So the video can fill in the middle of this text combination.
Example 7
This one is complete the opposite type to example 6.
Example 8
We adjust the capacity of the text so it is not an exact text video shape. Because we can only see the color lightness of the video changing through the transparent text, not the video content. But if you choose more colorful video clips for it, the effect will be amazing.
Example 9
The special point of the last one is to add the hollow-out effect on example 2.
