credit scrawl

[First Last]

Thanks Dave. I’ve been having some minor issues with Credit Rolls.

This was my current solution…

time*[0, -120] or something like that.

You have to adjust the anchor point to get it to start in the right place, but it was working…

Go fly fishing.

Dave,
you are too generous in assessing my modest AE abilities.
I don’t have a clue about expressions.

Here’s a page that has a lot of advice about credit rolls:

Hi guys.

i’ve been having tremendous trouble with the same issue, and this thread has been very useful. but i’ve tried Boris, photoshop, you name it. And i’ve been keeping my text at 92% black and 95% opacity.

actually am using the time*[0,-120] formula right now to bang out a credit roll that has had me pulling my hair out for days. thank you so much for explaining WHERE to insert the expression formula, although the Mercury Jones formula created and error in AE (CS4). any suggestions on that?

Actually… nope, for the hundreth time, no go on the credit roll. I am however reviewing the content on an LCD, but i’m exporting to an M2v to try to compensate and my clients will be watching the video on dvd players in their computers anyway….

any help appreciated!
