Long scrolling credit question
I have a really long poem that I need to insert as a scrolling credit.
When I insert the scrolling credit it automatically runs for 5 seconds…unless there is a way to adjust it.
5 seconds makes the poem run too fast.
If I try to stretch it, it repeats itself.
If I try to slow motion it, it still runs too fast.
Any ideas?

You need to change the actual duration of the event in the event properties. Clicking and dragging the event, as you have discovered, causes it to repeat.

I beleive what Nigel means is to change the duration of the Generated Media like this:
Change the 5:00 to 10:00 or 15:00 and then drag the end of the event on the timeline to match the new generated media length.~jr

No worries… at least you responded and got the general idea correct. 😉

Somewhat related….I haven’t been able to find a way to paste text into scrolling credit. I’d like to prepare long text in WORD & then copy/paste it into a scrolling credit. I don’t want to retype each line into a credit line. Is this possible?
Thanks! -
Rick, after you copy the text from Word/Notepad, etc., click on a blank line in the credit roll and press Ctrl+V.
Don’t right-click or do anything else, just that keystroke. -

Yes, just copy the text, insert a new line in the credit roll and paste the text into it. Vegas will create a new line for each line of text you paste.

I’ll give it a try – that’s what I get for being a mouse user & expecting right-click paste to work. Thanks!

Don’t worry about it Rick as that strange behaviour has tripped up a lot of Vegas users, me included.
