Html overlay question

1

Say I had a normal clip I’d like to overlay some text with html, the html layer/text always appears top left…

Is there an easy way to position this html layer? center, or drag it around?

Thanks.

Use something like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style> 
	html, body {margin:0; padding:0; border:0; background-color: transparent;}
	#parent {display: table;  width:100vw; height: 100vh; border:0; border-collapse: collapse;}
	#child  {display: table-cell; width:100vw; height: 100vh; margin: 0; padding:0; border:0;
			text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; overflow: hidden;
			color: #ff0000;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
	<div id='parent'>
		<div id='child'>
			THIS TEXT SHOULD BE CENTRED ON THE PAGE
		</div>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

There are other ways, but this is probably the easiest if you don’t know the size of the “child” div.

That answered my question… so no special on screen controls, just do the positioning in css.
Thanks for the response.
