  • Best way to make a credit roll

    Posted by Nelson May on April 18, 2006 at 1:18 pm

    I have the Apple certified FCP manual and it has a crawl, but my options are only left and right. I can’t find another way. Should I use motion or live type? If so can you lead me to the steps in the one you think best?

    Use Boris 3D to type the credit roll, then use your Motion tab settings (Center) to roll the credits vertically.

    Ensure that your Sequence Settings are set to Best under Video Processing.

    I have the trial version of Continuum……Is 3D in that application?

    “Title 3D” and “Title Crawl” (both from Boris) are included with FCP on the FCP install discs.

    They should be in your choices of Title generators in FCP.

    If not, you can install them from your original FCP install disc(s).

    Crawls go horizontally across the screen. Rolls go vertically.

    But Title Crawl will do rolls, even though it’s called “crawl”.

    I didn’t know that. I’ve always done my rolls in photoshop!

    I finished my Roll in Boris and It look pretty good. I haven’t dug too deep, but I had to individually set my margins when centering text…e.g. actor…name…..director….name.

    Other than that, I picked a yellow-orange color against black background and it looks great for my needs.

    Can you insert graphic elements into Title 3D? What if you need logos, etc? Off to PhotoShop or AE then?
