## Caption

The text-behind-subject look used to mean rotoscoping every frame by hand. With Premiere's AI Object Mask, it's a few clicks. Pick your subject, track the clip, and let text slip behind a person, car, or anything else that moves.

In this tutorial, you'll discover how to:
- Auto-detect any subject in a single frame with Object Mask, then refine the selection with simple add and remove brushes
- Track that subject forwards and backwards across the clip so the mask sticks frame by frame
- Build a layer stack that sandwiches your text between two copies of your video
- Apply the mask to opacity and watch text slide cleanly behind your subject, no rotoscoping required

Perfect for music video intros, brand title cards, and YouTube content that needs that high-production reveal.
What's the first clip you'd drop this effect on? Comment below and save this tutorial for your next video.
