  • Scrolling Text with 2 colors?

    Posted by Cody Silva on August 8, 2006 at 5:19 pm

    Ok, maybe i’m missing something but is it possible to have scrolling text with different atributes for different lines of text. For instance, can one line be blue and the next green, then blue, then green…etc. When I try to change the color of one line it changes all the text in the scrolling layer.

    I suggest that you do not use the FCP native title generators… ever! 😉

    Insstead, create your titles in “Title 3D” or “Title Crawl” (both from Boris, both included with the FCP install disks.

    Also, there are plenty of other 3rd Party Titlers as well as Photoshop… with many options.

    Title Crawl? I’m scrolling text from bottom to top like credits with the “scrolling text” text effect. I want the first line to be blue…second to be orange….third to be blue…..fourth will be orange.

    That’s right Title Crawl. Set the animation type to roll.

    All the best,

    Hmmm….bitter, but still tasty!”

    There is an hysterically funny on-going “bit” in Disney’s animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove” where the woman villain (who’s trying to booby-trap our hero) says to her cohort, “PULL the LEVER!!” (at which point a trap door… under where SHE is standing… opens up and she plummets toward the bottom of a pit.)

    She, of course says “No! Not THAT Lever!” even as she decends.

    Later in the same film, they set up the same scenario… and, sure enough, same result.

    But THIS time she says, “NO! Not THAT lever… WHY do we even HAVE that lever?”

    Its a gem of a line!

    I feel ths same way about the tired, out-of-date, virftually useless FCP “native” titlers.

    “No! Not THAT Titler… WHY do we even HAVE that Titler?”

    😉
