It seems like we just need a slug (aka Constant node) to be able to this sort of thing.

I’ve been fighting with this as well. I understand that due to the nature of how NS works it’s tricky to have values appear where no actual clip is but I can’t believe there is not yet any fixes. It’s starting to get a ridiculous omission now that 10 is officially out.

Hi all,

I feel somewhat stupid asking this but I can't figure it out.
I want a Text layer to show up on black, before a clip underneath starts playing. So I have two tracks, the top one with the text starting at the first frame, the bottom one with the clip starting a couple of seconds later. I can't get the text to show up unless there is a clip underneath, which is somewhat frustrating as I want it on black. I tried to put the Text onto a blend track as well as a normal track but to no avail.

The only way I have been able to do this is by putting a part of the clip underneath the text but grading it down to black (since there still isn't a black slug/constant to do these sort of things).

Is this really what it takes or am I being thick and not seeing the obvious solution?

Cheers,
frank
