Overview

What MultiText does

Start with Text List: select and name items by their role, such as name, role, headline or price. Text and Layout belong to the selected row, so editing a whole page and editing one layer should be deliberate choices.

Point suits a short label. Text Box adds a frame, wrapping and clipping; Circle places text along an arc. CSV imports spreadsheet content into an editable composition but does not turn the generator into a connected database.

Choose font, face, size and spacing first. Then set the layer’s Center/Pivot, alignment and rotation. Perspective and three-axis angles create a spatial appearance, but output remains a 2D image rather than a Renderer3D scene.

Fill, Outline and Shadow have their own color, alpha and softness. Text Color is linked to Fill color. Inspect components individually and then over light and dark backgrounds; internal Merge operations can change semitransparent edges.

Page holds common placement, scale and background. For a transparent title, set Page Background Alpha to 0. Connect Output to a separate Merge’s Foreground and video to Background. Effect Mask limits the entire generated page.

Image controls dimensions, precision and interpretation. Color metadata is distinct from conversion, while Remove Curve changes numeric values. After layout, review the entire title range and inspect reduced-scale readability, wraps, outlines and alpha.

When to use it

A lower third with independently styled name and role.
An information card with a headline and text box.
An arc label or circular badge.
An editable table after CSV import.
A shared masked reveal of several labels.
A transparent title for downstream compositing.
