This effect is based on the "Effect" -> "Create a mask" command.

First insert a bitmap image as a background.

Insert a text (be careful not to write letters bigger than the background).

Select the 2 elements, launch "Effects" -> "Create a mask". Everything outside the letter disappears.
Do not try to change the color of the letter especially if it bigger than the background (you may it for a special composition...)
You can for example let an outline to the letter (see the Effect section of the "Menu" rubric"). But it will work only if you convert the letter into curves before creating the mask ("Curves" -> "Convert into curves"). See also the Curves section of the "Menu" rubric) then ungroup the result so as to create the outline.
