Scrolling Credits Length
Hi,
I’m trying to create scrolling credits for a movie shot on HD 23.98psf 8bit Uncompressed. I’ve created the credits as a Photoshop document. It’s huge, coming in at 1920 x 45,000. My plan was to just bring that file into AE and animate it, but apparently it’s too big. The error message that comes up says, “After Effects error: could not create 1920 x -25536 image buffer. (7 :: 39).”
Should I split the credits in half in Photoshop, or is there another way around this?
Thanks,
Brent -

thats one way or try copy and pasting your text eliments into aftereffects text but for starters make your width in photoshop no wider then your actual comp (scaling length accordingly) that will help alotcurrently your ‘image’ is far to large to be anything in a.e. but make it the proper size and it should work, then import it to a.e. and animate it as you wish, remember the resolution of anything larger then your actual comp won’t appear anymore crisp then it would at proper size, you’ll have to scale that down anyways to fit correct
hope this makes sense

Personally, I’d break the credits up into smaller chunks, probably 5000-10000 pixels vertically. You can parent the chunks to a null and move them as one if you wish.
Or, as the above post suggests, use text layers within AE. So much easier to edit!

Thanks for the replies,
Is there a way to copy photoshop text layers into AE text layers? -
convert to editable text is under layers menu in 6.5 and later
