This is a popular effect in YouTube videos and ads, with large text that appears to be behind a person. The secret is just three layers and a mask. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Object text effects use the layer principle. In the video below, text is in the center, and a copy of the video is above that only shows the person through a mask. As a result, the text appears to be between the background and the person.
The interview clip with a white background is on V1. Create inspirational text with a very thick font, large size, orange color, centered on the screen, and as tall as the head. The text clip is on V2 and currently covers the interviewee's face.
Hold Alt and drag the interview clip from V1 to V3. Premiere creates an exact copy of the clip in V3, above the text. Now the text is completely covered by the video copy.
Select the clip in V3, open the effects controls, then click the pen icon below opacity. Click point by point around the interviewee's head, neck, and shoulders, then click the first point to close the mask. Now only the part of the person from V3 is visible. Raise the mask feeder a little, about 5, so the mask edge blends with the hair and shoulders.
As a result, the text appears to be behind the interviewee's head, but in front of the white wall.
The interviewee moves slightly, so the mask must follow. Place the playhead at the beginning, then click track selected mask forward. The mask now follows the movement of the head in every frame.
Play the clip. The inspirational text remains behind the interviewee even as they move and speak. This effect is very effective for video titles or thumbnails.
Done. We've already created a large text in V2, duplicated the video to V3 with the serial effect, drawn a pen mask around the person, adjusted the fader, tracked the mask, and rotated the text effect behind the object. In the next episode, we create the YouTube video title intro. Need a product advertisement video, business profile video, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos?
