Hi @jonray
Yes you are correct about the text effects! I always keep an earlier copy of Shotcut (as an appimage since I’m on Linux and it’s easy) for using WebVfx, as rare as that is these days. The colouring competition transition @ 2:28 also uses one of your brush images taken from here:
161 new transitions - using "Mask:From File".
Thanks to all the usual suspects (developers, contributors etc), and that of course includes you jonray!
