“Scroll Text” Behavior — What is “Adaptive Spacing”?
In Motion 5.4.5, among the Scroll Text behavior’s properties is “Adaptive Spacing.” This property has a dropdown with 3 values: None (default), Line, and Paragraph. Unfortunately, Apple’s Help for Motion does not describe this property.
I’m building a credit scroll in Motion to use as a Title in FCPX. At the bottom of my credit scroll is the copyright notice, and above that is the crew list. I’ve included text lines for 6 crew members:
ROLE1
NAME1
…
ROLE 6
NAME6

Does Adaptive Spacing compensate for this and remove the extra vertical space?
Also, I found in FCPX that when I entered roles and names of my 3 crew members, the entire “Crew” text block moved upward. As a result, it overlapped the text block above it. Is there a way to prevent this — that is, to “lock” the Y-position of the “Crew” text block?
Thanks!
