scrolling text

[David Bogie]

Those are separate text effects. One types on the characters, one moves the text. You can do one or the other but probably not both at the same time.
If you need each character to appear as if typed on, that’s easy, use search int he manual. if you need the character to type on and have the rest of the characters move down the scroll…I’m not sure how that can be done in FCP.

Maybe Motion?
Not a big deal using text animators in AE.

That’s great. I haven’t got access to the program until tomorrow, so I’m just trying to plan a project in advance. Thanks for the help

You can do both. If you can find a write on filter in FCP, apply it to the text then animate the layer in the ‘motion’ tab. This effect can also be easily created in live type or Motion, which will actually render better text then the FCP text engine, IMHO.
