Controlling the motion of text that is wrapped

Hi, am relatively new to Natron. I am using the Text node. I am trying to control the text box in which the text appears - its size, and its location. If I check Transform, then the text is not wrapped. If I uncheck Transform then I can wrap the text (but I still cannot control the shape of the text box), but cannot change the position of the text in the screen. What am I not doing correctly?

What do you want to accomplish?

  • Transform will always override wrapping (wrapping is based on the container/text box)
  • The shape (I guess you mean size?) of the container/text box is defined by “Canvas size” or “Auto size”

If you want to control the location of the container/text box you will need to add a transform node after the text node

Thank you, rodlie!

I should have thought of putting a separate Transform node after the text node. That did the trick.

Will separately play around with the canvas size and see if I can create text boxes that are tall, square, or rectangular.

Thank you, once again!
