Bring things in front of Text

Can I bring things in front of a Text? And how?

Yes. In a 2D group simply move the text layer on top of whatever it should appear in front of. In a 3D group, do that, plus adjust the Z position parameter so that the text is in front of the other object(s) in Z space.

I'm not in the position to correct Ben, but he misses in his advice mentioning one thing: masking.
To create the illusion of text being partly in front and partly behind obejcts, you have to create mask.

Here, the title of my last years wedding movie:
Some balloons are behind the title, some in front.




The 'layers' are
• background
• title
• some red ballons, masked with a color key … didn't worked out as I wanted, but ... bride&groom liked ....

So, if someone passes a title and it should look like title is 'behind' person, you have to create a mask in shape of person and 'cover' the tile while person passes by...

Pretty sure, Ben has some tutorial in his sleeves, which will show you the concept of this effect.

Yes, if you want something that is baked in to a video clip, put the text as the top layer, and apply a shape mask to it.
