    Hi Guys,
    I am finishing my piece and adding scrolling titles but I only have 3 options (Header, Single and Dual)
    The strange thing is, is that you can only have 3 settings for the sizes, so if I wanted 3 singles styles with 20, 24, 30 fonts size, I cant, I can only have one font and text style for each style?

    That seems a bit rubbish!

    I know about key frames and that does not work, you cannot key frame a font size on a style.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks.
    Will.

    Will, take a look at my reply in the Scrolling text jagged Scrolling text jagged thread.
    I explained why I don’t like the credit roll and uploaded a veg file to demonstrate an alternative method that I feel works much better and gives you a lot more control over font sizes and styles.

    No, you are not missing anything. The scrolling credits plug-in is very basic. If you need more, create a graphic in Photoshop and scroll it manually, or use the regular text or ProType Titler and keyframe the position to scroll it, or use a plug-in like Boris Graffiti that has extensive title tooling.

    Thanks Mike and John,

    I had a look at the file Mike, and that’s what I will do, key frame it down.

    Simple.
    😉

    I will let you know when my masterpiece is done, as I have given a thanks credit to Creative Cow, but its really for you guys on this forum.

    I use Videotagger Premium to make all of my scrolling credits. I don’t know if they have a trial version, but the program is something like $30. I set up my credits in MS Excel spreadsheet and import them into Videotagger. Videotagger also allows me to place a JPEG between sections.
