  Scrolling Text Recommendation?

  Posted by Mark Taylor on September 27, 2014 at 10:23 pm

  At the sake of becoming a pest here, what is recommended as the best way to include scrolling song text?

  The song is about seven minutes long, so would have several words. Would you simply use lower thirds and keep piling the text in (wondering if there is a size restrictions)? Is there a better way to accomplish this?

  Thanks again for any help!

  does it have to scroll?
  that’d be a nightmare

  can you just cut the lyrics on line by line, and maybe have a scrolling highlight?

  That would certainly be an alternative. The song is seven minutes long, however, and that seems to be a lot of “syncing” text with the audio??

  I may just try using the lower thirds option, as scrolling text, and see if seven minutes of text causes it to crash??

  i was actually thinking that getting a long string of text running at a constant pace to sync with the lyrics would be the hard part!
