  • Text Tool: Title Crawl

    Posted by Sascha Engel on May 18, 2011 at 7:00 pm

    I have to run titles on the bottom of the screen (from left to right / hebrew).
    Unfortunately, it runs a bit staccato, not so smooth, which makes it hard to read.
    Any other Generator to get a better result in FCP, or a tip, how to smoothen the Crawl Title Generator?

    Thanx.

    Hi Sascha,
    I haven’t use a crawl since ages, but I would try the FCs “Boris Crawl”.

    [Sascha Engel] “I don’t have Boris :-(“
    yes, you have it, or you should have it because comes bundle with FC since I can remember.
    Look in the text tools; you should have a Boris folde.

    Is it rendered? Do you have a green line or orange?

    What are the sequence settings?

    Sascha,
    p25 will makes any animation more choppy than i50 or p50. I guess that a fast Crawl may look very jumpy.
    But not sure if that is the problem when you say that the picture is unreadable.
    The Boris filter has a “De-flicker” filter, but that should works for rolling text.
    I would try something like applying some (.5) Horixontal Blur to the text.
    Without having a look is difficult to imagine the real issue.
