Title with Scrolling Text (Motion) Does Not Scroll in FCPX
In Motion 5.4.4, I created a title containing one Text item. I applied the “Scroll Text” behavior to this item and entered prototype text for a credit roll to be used in FCPX.
In FCPX 10.4.7 I apply this title to my timeline as a connected clip. I play that portion of the timeline. The prototype text scrolls upward as expected.
With this title clip selected in the timeline, I change some of the text in Inspector — for example, replacing prototype placeholders with names of talent and crew. I play the timeline again, and now the text no longer scrolls. This credit roll has become static text, showing only a portion of the entire text.
Although I am using current versions of Motion and FCPX, this problem has existed for several past releases.
Any idea why this happens, and how to avoid or correct this?
Thanks!
