pictures in rolling credits

[Terry Esslinger]

Place the pictures on their own track.
Resize the pic to the needed size using pan/crop
Use track motion with keyframes to move the pic along with the scrolling credit. Be sure that smoothness is set to zero and linear motion.

I have my rolling credits placed in track 1 with the rest of my pictures. If I place anything in track 2 it doesn’t show up. If I move my rolling credits on to track 2 and place a picture above the rolling credits in track 1 the credits roll until it gets to the picture and then the pictures shows and then it goes back to the credits. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Vegas looks at things from the top down so place your credits on track 1 and images go on track 2.
Make sure it’s the “Scrolling on Transparent” Text option that you drag to the timeline.
Once you do this, set the time in the “Length” box as desired.

The ‘scrolling on transparent background’ text on track one will work. It will superimpose the text over whatever picture you place on track 2. To get the effect you are looking for you will need to use event pan and crop on the picture in track2 to reduce it to the size that you want to fit in along with the text. Then you will want to use track motion (found in the track header) in track 2 to move that picture (scroll like) along with the text. Using TM place yourt picture at the bottom of the frame (if scrolling up) This will set your first key frame. Then run your curser to where the text has almost scrolled off the top of the frame. And move your picture an equivalent distance to match where it was in relation to the text at keyframe 1 and this will set a second keyframe. If you look at the keyframe timeline you will see a diamond at the beginning and at the end. Although it is not necessary it woulk be nice if your picture duration was only as long as the keyframed length. Now place a short fade in at the beginning and end of the picture.

You will end up with text scrolling up from the bottom and a picture fading in next to the text near the bottom and scrolling up with the text and fading out just as the text leaves the page.

You will repeat this for ech quote and picture.
