# Text

Use Text to make text spin, dance, and change colour over time.

To access the Text menu, use:

- Timeline, then use ConnectFX (See Creating ConnectFX).

- Tools, then select from the menu.

This node accepts a background clip. If a background clip is not connected to the Text node, you can select a resolution for the output of the Text node. Additionally, this node outputs a result and an outmatte.

NoteThe Prerender Text preference does not apply when you access Text from ConnectFX.

Text is compromised of layers, paragraphs, and characters. You can create effects such as a text roll of credits, text crawls, bumpers, and a text that moves on a motion path. You can also use logo images in a text roll so that the logo of a sponsor appears in the credit list.
