    text crawl

    Posted by Susan Cox on October 28, 2009 at 3:18 pm

    I have been asked to create a text crawl that will have about 20 minutes worth of content. Is after effects the way to go? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Susan

    Hi Dave,

    This is a one off broadcast for a corporate client, and we are mimicking a news show. The text crawl is one of the graphic elements that I’m creating. Unfortunately, for me, the approval of the content is going to come at the last minute and I have to give the video operators a quicktime file that they will super over whatever is on screen.

    I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this and set it up now with dummy text till I get the final.

    Thanks for your help.

    we don’t have a character generator, this “graphic” will be running as a loop on dedicated mac, I believe out of quicktime. Sorry, I should have explained that in my last post.

    Believe me if I could hand this over to someone I would.

    Thanks,

    That’s exactly my plan with the exception that I thought I would lay out the text in illustrator.

    I knew there wasn’t a more automated way to do this but I thought I should ask.

    Thanks,

    Susan
