scrolling text and fade out
Posted by Gone Fishing on July 6, 2009 at 9:26 amI’d like to scroll text lines toward the top of the screen but I can’t make the first line going up to fade out gradually when reaching the last third part of the top of the screen until it disappears and the following line of text as they move up the screen.

July 6, 2009 at 1:27 pmHave you tried applying a mask to the top and then feathering out the edge? From what I’m reading from your post, it sounds like that would be the easiest way to create a quick fade out.

July 8, 2009 at 2:29 amI tried doing a quick Credit Roll in AE and created something that I think is what you are talking about.
Here is what I did:
I created a background and duplicated it. The duplicated layer, I created a mask and feathered it out on top. Then I created a bunch of text credits and linked them to a null object. Keyframed the null to move up over a short period, having it stop at ~Fin~ then dropped the opacity. Sandwiched the text between the background and feathered mask and there you have it! I hope this helps (or is even what you where looking for) 🙂
If you would like me to e-mail you the AE project file let me know! Have fun!Jeff Bonano
