“News Feed” type (readable) crawls
I have a project that will need a lower-third crawl, like a news feed. The last time I tried it the client wasn’t happy with it (I wasn’t either), because it was almost unreadable unless I slowed it way down.
I remember this was never an issue in the days of CRT monitors and field rendering, and it sounds like the culprit has to do with sub-pixel motion, but I’m not sure and I don’t have a lot of time to troubleshoot…

…but I’m not sure if it’s the same issue as horizontal jitter and don’t really understand the ins and outs of sub-pixel motion issues, anyway.
Can anyone advise me on a tried and true way to get readable text crawls? I’ll be using Fusion as my tool.
THANKS

Hi Kelly
In Vegas, you can try this:
Create a new Title (right-click in the project area, click the icon, etc.)
Set it to the sequence dimensions (the default)
Choose the Type tool (the T symbol) – NOT the Area Type tool.
Click once at the bottom-left of the screen, at the vertical position where you want the ticker to be.
Pick the font, size, color, fill, etc on the properties tree that now displays.
Click again on the small vertical box marking the position of the type box, you’ll see it flash as the cursor wakes up.
Copy and paste your ticker text – it must be all on one line, so it helps to copy it from a text editor.
The text box will enlarge to fit, so it’ll extend waaay off the right side of the window.
Click the Roll/Crawl options tool (the second icon below the name of the title on the panel tab, a set of lines with a vertical arrow)
Choose Crawl Left, and (usually) start/end off screen.
Click OK and close the titler window.
Drop the new title onto the sequence timeline and stretch it out to set the in/out points, and hence the crawl speed.Cheers !

Hi Kelly,
You could post your question in the ‘DaVinci Resolve’ forum of COW. As Resolve 15 now includes Fusion, there are probably folks there familiar with Fusion and how to go about it.
Best Regards……George
