Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Text Animation Undesired Looping

  • Text Animation Undesired Looping

    Hello! I’m new to using Sony Vegas, and I was wondering about how to stop the text animation from looping? By text animation, I mean the default animations that appear from a dropdown list when I click “Generated Media”. An example would be Bouncing, or Action Flip, or Twist In. My problem is that when I select one of these animations, it replays the animation after a certain amount of time that varies for each different animation. I only want it to animate once as a sort of entrance for the text. Better yet, is there any way I can specify when the animation could occur, it might be useful as a sort of exit for the text in future projects I might do. If anyone could help, it would be must appreciated. Thanks!

    The Sony Titles & Text animations are not changeable. They are just quick presets that do what they do and you either like it or not. If you want total control over the animation, you need to use the ProType Titler instead.

    To add to that,
    Are there any settings in the new Text & Titles plug in that extends or shortens the animations?
    You can change the length of the event, which will change the duration of the animation. However, that also changes the duration of the text itself. No modifications are possible to the animation sequences themselves.
