    Hi all, I would like to create scrolling text for credits.
    It doesn’t appear that I can create this text with either an outline or shadow.
    Is this a limitation of Vegas or am I missing something?

    Thanks, scott

    Add a track level glow.

    scroll text alternative-
    Go to media generator select sony text you will notice for modifiers
    1. edit, 2. placement, 3. properties, 4. effects

    1: EDIT type or cut and paste text from any text editor. If you use a word .doc you may have to modify the text.
    2: PLACEMENT Grab text and move it to the bottom of the Screen. Add a new point at the end of the time line, then move the text to the top of the screen.
    3: PROPERTIES: Adjust the font color and change the background as needed.
    4: EFFECTS: Check the outline box and adjust the color, size and feather to your liking. Check the shadow box and adjust.

    Save to disk and these settings will be available in the media generator.

    I have been using the scroll media generator, adding track motion for the outline and shadow, but just last week I need to copy a large text file into VEGAS 5.0 for a customer. This works fine.

    Good Luck and be patient while rendering
