Text with video background

[sauron]

An alternate way to add text over video.

1. Open a transparent clip, add it to the the timeline.
2. Add text to the clip.
3. Save the project.
4. Create a new project. Put the video/image on V1.
5. Add a color clip to V2. Add Mask: From File > File > Custom to the clip and select the saved project.

I learned this technique from @shotcut
