    Premiere CS4 Title:  How to Create a Knockout?

    Tim Dougherty Community Member

      This one is driving me crazy!  I can see in the Titler presets that include anything with the word "frame" in the title, that there is a box set up to knock out a portion of the background.  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to create one from scratch.  There appears to be no kind of dialog that offers this option.  These boxes are always set to 0% opacity, and it doesn't seem to matter what else is going on in the object - edges, formatting, color, anything.  So somebody please enlighten me!  Make me feel dumb if you have to.  How can I create a knockout box or text?knockout.jpg

       

      Many thanks,
