Scrolling text settings

[Theo Van laar]

When you end your text with some ENTER hits, your text will keep scrolling until it disappears from the screen.

Hi Theo

That didn’t work. After the text I hit the enter key an added about 20 lines. Still only scrolls up from the bottom to just below 50% up then disappears. Like the window ends there.

Allen, do you have Track Motion or Pan/Crop enabled on that track/event that you forgot about?

Hi Mike

Oops! Yea Track Motion was set from something I tried before. So I got rid of that but now all it did was raise the whole “box” a little.

Now the text comes in just below the middle of the screen and goes out just above the middle. Problem is I’m working in wide screen for the first time, so I’m not sure what to set the frame size at at the top of the window. I tried 720×480 and 1280×720 but it doesn’t seem to make any difference.

I’m trying to get the text to come into the window at the bottom and scroll up and off at the top.

By the same token I’m also trying to crop the right side of the video only to make more room for the text scroll but I can’t seem to figure out how to just crop the right side without the whole video re-sizing. I thought I had the aspect ratio turned off!

This is what I get for trying something entirely new. HD 16:9 on a P4 3.0gHz computer w/2gb Ram! Imported as SD wide screen MOV file. It’s working though albeit a bit slow! 😉

I need to do this in Vegas, render it out and bring it back into FCP. HA!

Geez, I haven’t used the scrolling text for years.
