Depending on your software, here are the most effective ways to add deep, layered text to your video:

: This is a popular free method. Duplicate your clip and set the top copy as an Overlay . Use the Auto Removal or Custom Removal brush to cut out the person. Insert your text and adjust the Layer settings so it sits behind the cutout but in front of the original footage.

: Use the Magnetic Mask tool. Isolate your subject by clicking on them to create green tracking points, then let the AI analyze the motion. Once isolated, place your text layer between the original background clip and the new masked subject layer.
