Text overlay - video processor, Can you change TXT color?

Is it possible to change the color of the text when using the Text Overlay?

Yes.

look for this line in the code

Code:

gfx_set(fgc,fgc,fgc,fga);

The first three items (all currently the same - "fgc") are the Red, Green & Blue levels.

These can range from 0 to 1

if you change this to

Code:

gfx_set(1,0,0,fga);

you'll get red text. you should be able figure out the rest

Thank you so much! That worked great. Entered, //Commented and added as a preset.

I'm often curious as to why Reaper doesn't bother to put helpful comments into the FX codebase. There are many things that could be made more clear with little effort.
