Title credit roll? at DVinfo.net

David Stoneburner · January 12th, 2011, 08:15 AM

Quick question because I'm behind on a project. I need to do a credit roll at the end of a project. It's a basic 1080i 29.97 project. I think it did it last year but I don't remember how. I have the credits in a PDF that I can cut and paste into the titler or a text document. My guess is that it has something to do with a "velocity envelope" but I honestly don't remember. Any help would be appreciated and if it's super simple then feel free to put this down as a dumb question. Thanks :)

You can do it one of two ways:

1. Insert a credit roll generated media, paste in your text, and set the "length" to be appropriate for the amount of text you have and the amount of time you want it to scroll.

2. Insert a standard text generated media, paste in your text, and set the "length" to be apropriate for the amount of text. Then you need to set the first keyframe so the text is off the bottom of the screen and add a second keyframe at the end so the text is off the top of the screen.

If you look in my newsletters, I have a complete explanation of how to use the credit roll generated media.
