First select whatever you want to be transparent. There are a couple of ways to do that, but the easiest way is Object menu > Fill and Stroke > Fill tab, and find the Opacity slider near the bottom of the dialog. To use as a watermark, you probably need to make the text partially transparent as well. So as long as you typed the text in Inkscape, and didn't import a raster image, it's already transparent. Inkscape's background is transparent by default. If you need it the size of the text, first select the text, then File menu > Document Properties > Page tab > Custom Size > Resize Page to Contents. If you need the page to be the size of the video, go to File menu > Document Properties > Page tab > Custom Size. I guess you either need the page to be the size of the text, or the size of the video.įirst, delete all your other contents, all the clipping paths you made, everything but the text. (Remember that raster graphics (GIMP) and vector graphics (Inkscape) are very, very different.)Īlthough I don't know that for a fact. However, to use as a watermark, I'm guessing you probably need the page to be the same size as the object. That's what the bounding box shows you, the size of the object. The text already is the size of the bounding box. I'm concerned that you might not need to clip the text at all. If you could give us a little more info about what you want to accomplish, we can guide you in the proper way to do it. Possibly you didn't have both the text/group and clipping path both selected. I don't know why the result would look like your 3rd example, because it looks like you've drawn a whole new clipping path. ![]() If you clip the text as you've shown it, it's not going to look any different.Īnyway, you have the correct steps for clipping. But it's possible you don't need to clip the text at all. It's not clear from your screenshot what else might be happening with the image. (Even though the Rectangle tool draws a shape, not a path, it still works like a path for clipping, and some other things.)īut now that I'm thinking about that, I'm starting to wonder why you want to clip the text in the first place. But in any case, since they are already a single object, you don't need to group them.ģ - While you certainly can use any tool that draws a path, to create the clipping path, in this case you would typically use the Rectangle tool, and draw a rectangle around it. I don't know whether they are one text object or a group (I would need to see the SVG file, to know that). Here is a description elaborating more on trim/bleed/safe area.2 - Ok, if you look at the text after you select it, notice how the bounding box (the dashed line rectangle) is already around both of them. (Not sure if it was drawn in 90 or 96 dpi inkscape though) ![]() There is an extension to render print marks including crop marks in extensions/render I belive but you'd still have to perform the previously mentioned actions.Īs an example, here is a document set up for printing: Still after that, you'd need to resize your graphic too so there is an area that you can trim off, crossing the crop marks you draw. Then you'd need to resize your document accordingly. So before you are adding crop marks of any kind, in the preparation process consult with the printer if they have the uncut paper series or of which is their matching one size larger paper format. For example for an A3 sized trimmed print there is an SRA3 paper size (SRA3 is 450 mm/320 mm, A3 is 420 mm/297 mm). If you are printing in the A series, there are matching paper sizes. If you explicitely need to trim the print -in case of a custom print size or edge to edge graphic-, you need a larger paper size to be printed than the final output -so you can trim the paper's edges off. Meaning cropping marks are unnecessary if you only want to print regular graphic with a safe area (parts not closer to the paper's edge than a certain amount, like 2-5 mm). That is, when you'd want an edge-to-edge print with no white borders. Captain obvious here, crop marks are useful only when you will crop the print. ![]()
