    Posted by Cmsvideo on July 26, 2007 at 8:37 am

    Would anyone be able to help me? I am looking to create a text bar that scroll left to right with informational text on it (like on CCN or BBC 24) although it would be about 5-6 mins of scrolling and ideally a template I can just add more news to each week and transfer into Premiere Pro to stick to my project in there.

    Ideally you should feed the text into a Text Layer using a Script. I believe that the COWfolks at the COW’s AE Expressions forum will have something useful for you.

    I’d handle this effect in post with a dedicated, downstream character generator.

    As Roland suggests, a script of some kind might be able to suck-and-shoot from a Word document (I’ve never tried scripting at all) but it’s not terribly difficult to string together of bunch of text crawl effects into precomps.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
