Vegas: Darken background of subtitles in

[rocco123]

I use "generate media text" thing to put text on the screen, and I want to sightly darken a bit the square that surrounds the text, but I don't see a way to do it within the text plugin thing. I hope im not forced to create rectangles of different shapes and automate everything each time because that's just retarded. Im hoping there's a way to automatically darken the background that is automatically generated when you use the generate media text thing.

In case im not being clear, I took this screenshot:



As you can see there's a grey rectangle around the text that pops up when you want to move the text. I want this area to be a bit darkened so the text can be readed easier.

In the "Video Media Generator" windows in the "advanced" tab there's "background", but when I darken it out it darkens the entire screen for some reason and not only the area that occupy the subtitles as you would expect.

Don't use that one, use the protype titler - the background will do what you want
