credit crawl
I’m wondering if there’s a way, within FinalCutPro to do a Tail – credit crawl, 2 columns, the first column right justified, the 2nd column left justified so that they appear like they do in most films; the way it is now i can only have it centered. Do i need to create 2 seperate crawls on seperate video layers in order to create this?

We use Title 3D for this and create two titles to run side by side. The left crawl is right justified, the right crawl is left justified. Just line them up and they run up perfectly.
Or create two layers in Photoshop and crawl those up.

CHV makes a set of text plugins that contains a credits plugin that will do exactly what you want. I use it all the time. Costs $49.

Hi Jeremy,
If you want to achieve a film scroll style using scrolling text, insert an asterisk (*) after or before every text segment to indicate the gap. For example: Online Editor*Jeremy Presner. You can adjust the amount of space between the text by changing the “gap width” value.
Hope this helps.
Warmest greetings to all the great contributors on this forum – you’ve helped me many times in the past! 🙂

The credit crawl does not run smoothly, it kind of warbles every few frames any way to make it smoother?

Be sure to activate the 1:2:1 deflicker (or something like that) in the Boris Crawl.

I am not using the Boris text, I am using FinalCutPro’s built in “scrolling text” which doesn’t seem to have that option listed! Just options like indent, spacing, gap width, fade size, direction, auto kerning…

You should use the Boris Title Crawl instead of the old FCP generator. It will give you the 1:2:1 deflicker, more control over the text, and a cleaner result all around. Instead of an asterisk, you can use tabs to create the columns.

I tried using the tabs in Boris, but they do not align properly, I need the left column to be right justified and the right column to be left justified.. any advice?
