00:44 Take a Snapshot of the Background and Edit it in Photoshop
To start the process, select your background clip and drop it on the timeline. Take the snapshot and save it in PNG file format.
Open the snapshot in Photoshop and look for the "Image" tab. Click the "Image" and select "Adjustments" from the dropdown list. From the "Adjustments" list, select "Black and White" to change the color of your photo. Hit "Ok" to save the changes. Again, go back to the "Adjustments" and choose the "Curves" option and adjust them to get a full black and white effect.
00:55 Change the Focus Area and Create a Mask
Go to the “Select” section and choose “Focus Area” from the list. Remove the white color from the image by marking it. Create a mask by selecting the black color for the subject. Save the image in PNG format for further use.
01:05 Import the Mask in Filmora
Open Wondershare Filmora and select the clip you’ve inserted on the first track. Enter its settings by double-clicking the clip and navigating to the "Mask" section under the “Video” tab. Import the mask you’ve created in Photoshop from your system into Filmora.
Select “Invert Mask” from the options and copy the footage from the first track to the third track. Double-click on the video added on the third track and deselect the “Invert Mask” option there.
01:19 Drop the Title on the Timeline
Select a title track from the “Titles” section and drop it on the timeline on the second track. It is recommended to keep this title a few frames towards the right. You can notice the title you’ve dropped on the timeline from the preview window.
01:26 Bring the Text Behind the Object
Double-click the copied footage to open its settings. From the “Video” tab, go to the “Mask” option and turn off the “Invert Mask.” Open the settings of the video on the first track and turn on the “Invert Mask” option. The text is successfully brought behind the object in the video.
01:36 Customize the Text Settings
For customizing the text settings, double-click on the added title and select any gradient from the “Presets” section. Continue into the “Advanced” option and access the “Customize” tab. There, you can adjust multiple options according to your choice.
01:55 Hide and Reveal the Text by Applying Animation
From the top panel, lead to the "Animation" tab and change positions "X" and "Y" to move the text behind the object. Move the playhead at the required timeframe and reveal the text by changing its position.
Split the text bar into two parts and add keyframes at the required time frames to hide the text behind the object by adjusting the "Position.” Select the second split part and set the keyframes. You can also customize the "Gradient Fill" from the settings under the "Customize" tab as you want, and here you go. Once you have adjusted positions, render a preview to see the final results.
