Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Moving text across the screen

  • Moving text across the screen

    Posted by Rob Lindsay on November 26, 2018 at 11:15 pm

    i am trying to move text in the text generator from outside the screen on the right across the screen to disappear off the left side. Sounds simple, but I can’t see why Vegas isnt doing that. It only renders a portion of the movement, not the start or finish.

    i’ve attached a screen shot

    Thanks for your help.

    #1: Use the Animation setting: Scroll Left – Center

    The duration of the effect is sometimes hard to find the beginning and end. Keep moving the start and end point until you see the 1st letter, then the last letter leave. Adjust the duration in the text box for speed, and fade the ends if you want. You may have to increase the size of the text box, so the text is not destroyed on the left on screen but rather off screen.

    #2: Alternatively use the “Pan and Crop” tool on the titles& text FX, and use the keyframe animation tools at the bottom of the window. The move only tool selection on the bottom of theleft icons is useful to limit movement to only left and right. If you do not know what keyframing is, you need to learn it some time.

    Thanks again, Aaron. I got the titles to move using the Text Generator. I’ve used key frames before, and did again. By fumbling thru them and somehow getting it the way I wanted :).

    I still don’t understand how to use them and the video you shared wasn’t very clear to me either.

    But it’s done and i appreciate your help!
