Static background image not showing for some video clips in video compilation

[singhms]

Hello,

Thanks in advance.

New to Shotcut and need some assistance with a static background I am using to fill up blank/black spaces on the sides of video clips I am adding into a compilation. (Actual final video size is different to video clips being added)

Quick run down of setup,
V1 - I have a static image (as a background) to fill up the blank spaces for the black/blank spaces around video clips I added that are not the same size as the actual video I am making
V2 - About 10 video clips of various sizes - with the black/blank spaces on the sides
V2 - I have a Rich Text Filter on some videos with static text
V3 - I have some audio

*The static background image shows for some of the videos and not for others.
*From what I can gather it shows for the video clips without the Rich Text Filter and not for the video clips with the Rich Text Filter applied.

Things I tried from searching the forum
*Composite button - no longer available in the newer versions
*Blend mode - changes the shading/colouration of videos

Additional info
Shotcut version 20.10.31 (64bit - Windows 10)

Any assistance to correct this would be greatly appreciated.

it shows for the video clips without the Rich Text Filter and not for the video clips with the Rich Text Filter applied.

Put the Text Rich on a transparent clip above the video track.

Text is on the clip on V3.
