Text Background and Highlight

A text background applies a filled rectangle behind the text content. When the animation granularity is set to Character or Word mode, backgrounds can be applied per unit:

• -Each character or word can have its own background rectangle
• -The background rectangle can have padding (horizontal and vertical expansion beyond the character bounds)
• -Background corner radius can be set to round the per-character backgrounds
• -Background color, opacity, and blend mode are configurable

This feature enables highlight text effects — colored boxes behind individual words or characters — which are common in social media caption animations and subtitle styling.

An alternative mode applies a single background rectangle behind the entire text block (the combined bounding box of all text). Configured via the Text Background toggle in the Properties Panel.

• -Horizontal Padding — expands the background left and right beyond character bounds
• -Vertical Padding — expands the background above and below character bounds
• -Corner Radius — rounds the corners of the background rectangle
