Steps
1Put a backdrop behind the text
On the Properties tab, check Backdrop and choose a shape. Then pick a solid color, a two-color gradient, or an image to fill it.
Nudge Curve Radius up a few units. Rounded corners keep the backdrop from looking like a plain rectangle.
2Move what the title rotates around
Under Position / Size, check Display anchor point and drag the green pin in the preview.
3Recolor an animated title
Drag a title from the Motion Graphics category, double-click it, and use Graphic Group to set a color per shape.
The animation is untouched, so this is the fast way to put a template into your own colors.
We tested these steps in PowerDirector 365 version 23.5.2 on Windows.
