[solved] Outline only text effect in CapCut

I wanted to show text in a video that is only displayed using outlines. CapCut offers the option to give text with stroke a border / outline, but the element cannot be made selectively transparent via a blend mode. A compound clip provides a workaround.

a black background is required – this can simply be a completely black jpeg or png
create the desired text via add text -> Default Text
Color the font black
Add an outline via Stroke (light color)
Select the text element and background graphic together
Right-click -> Create compound clip
Place compound clip over the desired video layer
Select compound clip -> Video -> Basic -> Blend -> set Mode: Screen

I hope this has helped you. If you have any updates or additions to the problem, please let me know.
