Credit Roll

jkb242 wrote on 11/27/2004, 9:12 AM

My Credit rolls are jerky and the text is not clear when diplayed on a black background. I have tried different colors of text and different size font but the roll is not smooth and steadty.

Can someone please provide some insight or additional reading on possibile fixes.

Thanks.

Have you rendered the final? Are you viewing in Good? Try Preview quaklity and/or RAM Preview with the setting on Good. Whatch out for the Frame rate at the bottom right hand corner of the Preview Screen .. you should see the Feame hit your spec . .I'm PAL .. if it aint hitting 25 fps then I need to render or do something .. yeah? RAM preview or render it .. ok?

Grazie,

Setting the preview window to good helps a bit but the video is still not smooth as it should be. Frame rate for this project is based on NTSC 29.970(30fps) and the roll is following this as well. Surely, this is not how Vegas intended for this media generator to appear.

Change the preview setting to Best (Auto) (or Best (Full) if you have an external monitor) and see if that helps.
Also, if you're only watching this on a computer monitor, it will not look as good as it will on a video monitor because of the progressive/interlace issue.

RS107,,

Much thanks this could present an issue which I have not yet fully explored by viewing on a television.

Thanks!!

Also, if you are using white on black, make sure your sliders are all at 235. Otherwise you'll over-amp the color and it will appear smeared.

Here is what I do. It seems to work for me whereas other suggestions don't:
1. Place credit roll at end of video

2. Type in all the information

3. Edit generated media: Change the time length to the desired amount (may involve trial and error)

4. Go back to timeline and place the cursor back from the end of the timeline a distance equal to the desired length of the credit roll. I did it by typing in the cursor position (in the little box under the timeline toward the right) so it was exact.

5. MOVE the Credit Roll Left to the cursor position WITHOUT resizing it.

6. Send the cursor to the end of the video by clicking Go To END (CTRL+END).

7. Stretch the end of the credit roll to the Right up to the cursor WITHOUT holding down the CTRL key.

8. If the speed is too fast go back and do it all over again from step 3 above.
