Wow, this is unwatchable, could you possibly use any kind of more distracting font. I need to pouse every 5sek to read this stuff :/

[boomboxshoebox]

@snafuFCI Sorry about that. I made this video a long while ago before I had much editing skills. If it's that unwatchable, find another video to watch. Geez. Thanks for view and comment though. =P

Is the second layer needed? At first I thought it was because when that 2nd layer is grown it would show the underlining color, but then I found you could do it with out the other layer.

This is great. I'm not good with image editing software, and this is just what I needed for my DVD covers.
