TextTrack
Put words on screen in any installed font, with an outline, a plate behind them, and a fade or typewriter to bring them in.
A TextTrack is a text layer of a CookVideo, see-through everywhere but the words. Text, FontFamily and FontWeight (or a Font file), TextSize, TextColor3, the alignments, TextWrapped and LineHeight set the words; StrokeColor and StrokeThickness outline them. BackgroundColor3, BackgroundTransparency, CornerRadius and Padding make a plate, and AutomaticSize keeps the box fitted to the text. Insert, Title makes one with a plate, ready to go. It keys, trims, masks and blends like any layer.
Properties
Layout
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| AbsoluteSize | Vector2 | The size the layer is drawn at, after AutomaticSize grows the box; read-only. | |
| AutomaticSize | string | "XY" None, X, Y, XY | Grows the box to fit the text around the AnchorPoint, with Size as the least size, so text never clips. |
| Scale | Vector2 | 1, 1 | Scales the layer; it is drawn at Size times Scale, so scaled text stays sharp. |
| Rotation | number | 0 | Rotates the layer around its AnchorPoint, in degrees. |
Background
| BackgroundColor3 | Color3 | 0.07, 0.08, 0.1 | The colour of the plate behind the words, which fills the layer's box. |
| BackgroundTransparency | number | 1 0 to 1 | How see-through the plate behind the words is; at 1 there is no plate. |
| CornerRadius | number | 0 0 to 10000 | Rounds the corners of the plate behind the words. |
| Padding | Vector2 | 0, 0 | Insets the text inside the plate and grows the AutomaticSize box, in pixels. |
Text
| Font | FontContent? | A font file that wins over FontFamily when set; the FontFamily row then locks. | |
| FontFamily | string | "Segoe UI" | Any font family installed on this computer, drawn at FontWeight. |
| FontWeight | string | "Bold" Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold, Heavy | The weight the font family is drawn at, by Roblox's names from Thin (100) to Heavy (900). |
| LineHeight | number | 1 0.1 to 10 | |
| Text | string | "Text" | The words the layer draws; line breaks in it start new lines. |

| TextTransparency | number | 0 0 to 1 | |

| TextYAlignment | string | "Center" Top, Center, Bottom |
Stroke
| StrokeColor | Color3 | 0, 0, 0 | The outline's colour; the outline sits inside the box, so nothing is clipped at the layer edge. |

| StrokeTransparency | number | 0 0 to 1 | How see-through the outline is; it sits inside the box, so nothing is clipped at the layer edge. |
