Hello I’m new to using shotcut and glaxnimate,
I wanted to add a red rectangle and text underneath it to a video. I found the generate → Drawing/Animation option which led me to install glaxnimate as well. In glaxnimate I added the rectangle and the text but wanted to use different stroke sizes for the rectangle and text. Based off what I could find stroke size is tied to each layer. So I created a second layer. The first layer has the rectangle and the second layer has the text. While I can manipulate the rectangle just fine, editing the text has been more challenging.
First of all I cannot select the text shape directly. I could not find any documentation or help to select a shape in a different layer directly on the canvas (docs for select, layers). I was able to figure out I could select the shape through the timeline menu. First question, is it possible to select a shape in a different layer through the canvas?
Second, while I can move the rectangle in the first layer by just dragging it I cannot do the same for my text shape. Trying to drag it just creates a selection rectangle and does not move the text shape itself. I could manually enter the coordinates in the timeline again but that’s quite cumbersome. I would like to know how to move the text shape by just dragging if it is possible.
Thank you for any help
