Scrolling end credits help.
Hi,
I really need help with making scrolling end credits. I searcj the forum i found some info, but i´m a total newbie so I dont really get it. The credits I made stutters when they move upwards.
I´m making a credit for 35mm print in cinevator. My master should be 1080p Apple prores 442 codec, (source material is 720p dvcpro but must be upconverted to 1080p)
This is what I did.
1. Made a hd1080p, 72dpi document in Illustrator. I pasted the text and then expand, with the crop tool so that all the text was inside the borders.
2. Imported the Illustrator document into AE and made a 1080p 25 fps, with square pixels composition. Then I just made two motion key frames at the start and end (I want my credit to be 2min 11sek exactly, the credits is pretty short, so it dont go to fast). I set the motion point so It would roll in and out in that time.
I doesnt look good. I tried some fast blur, but i didn´t really help.
Can someone guide me through this in an easy way, like I said i´m a total newbie and don´t really get how I´m supposed to do through other posts I read on the forum.
I also tired the Scroll preset in AE, but i couldnt get that to work, it just started in the middle om my test and when i changed the ancor point the text dissapeard. With the preset it also rolls continous and I dont want that.
Sorry for my bad explanation, but I hope you understand what I mean.
Please help I need this to be finished by monday morning.
Thank you Christian

Christian,
Did your movie stutter when you played it in AE? Could be because it is not playing in real time. If it stuttered once you had rendered it out using an uncompressed codec, this could just be because your computer is too slow to play this kind of video. It is not unusual for really high spec machines to have problems playing back uncompressed HD that are fine once they’re compressed for delivery.
Maybe you could try rendering a test copy as a compressed h.264 QT movie and see if the stuttering is still there.
