You're right! I released the clip and it worked already!!!! I realized that the other worked because I did Path Difference first before I clipped whereas for the cloud, I clipped first before I did path difference. Thanks so much for the help, Druban!!!

Hi Xav,

Please see the screencast video I made for reference ---> https://screencast.com/t/tmB5udg7f1

Let me know what you think.

Thanks so much!

I've been struggling trying to cut out text against a path image - when I try to use Path Difference, the selected paths (text and image) just disappear and I'm confused why that's happening. When I first tested it, I created a plain text and performed the path difference function against the scroll...
