3 typefaces in credit roll?

Is it possible to have 3 different typefaces in a credit roll (excluding dual item).

I would like headers in bold, single items in regular text, and song titles in italic, but it doesn't seem possible.

How else would I do this? I tried vertically panning a simple text generated media but it would crop to the height of the screen. Do I have to resort to a very tall, moving png graphic or a seperate credit roll for the music section of my credits?

thanks!

Go back to the simple text generated media and then use the "positioning" tab in the text generated media to create the scroll.

Are you using a credit roll generated media. They support this already. Font control is on the style tab of the generator.

If the format options work for you, your done.

Also if you are using Vegas 5, the generated text media works just like a work processor in the fact that you can change fonts and styles on every character if you so desire.

Thanks jetdv, I have now achieved what I wanted using keyframing in the "placement" tab of the text media. My croping problem was that I had keyframed "event pan and crop" going on at the same time. Very confusing.

Orcatek, I hear what you're saying but there still only appears to be support for 2 single-column styles plus one dual item style. If you make a change it applies to all instances of that style, not just the text that's highlighted.

Sony, I would love to see support for more styles in credit rolls. Please.
