A PNG file that is a bit wider than your project aspect ratio and LONG - type it up, use pan/crop to animate the roll - This is the only way I've done credit rolls in Vegas.

Thanks Cheno. I'm looking for a long crawl, left to right, across the bottom. Darryl

Cheno is right.

Make a graphic that is extremely wide and use track motion or pan/crop to crawl it on the bottom.

If you are running VP8, ProType titler will do a great job on a long crawl with a very sharp, clean look and easy to control all properties and make changes.

FYI, I have just discovered that VP8 freezes with Cayman Graphics. I was pleased when it worked but now I find that VP8 can go to sleep/ lockup/freeze etc if there are CG captions on time line.
I have just gone back to V6 for titles.

Darryl, do a copy/paste of a line/paragraph of text into a basic text event.
Then use the placement tab and keyframes (one at the start and one at the end) to position the text it at the beginning and end of the crawl.
Adjust the event length as desired.

Yep, this is what i do; one long line of text in a text event. Under the placement tab set a keyframe at 0:00:00;00 with the text shoved all the way off the right edge of the frame. Set another keyframe at the appropriate end point (will probably have to be determined via experimentation) and shove the text all the way off the left edge of the screen. Set the Length: of the text event to equal where the last keyframe is placed.

Well, ya ain't gonna believe this post. Reinstalled Power CG Plus (complete with dongle process) and CG just generated a beautiful crawl as a plug-in in V8, and previews just fine. Thank goodness, my ProTitler refuses to cooperate -- causes V8 to crash. I've got a support ticket in -- and have been notified that it may be associated with mysterious AMD things that will be solved in V8a. Supposed to be out "soon."

Just wishin', an' hopin', an' prayin'

Thanks for the info though. Nice to have a backup for such a project specific, critical media.

um... why use anything but a normal text event for a simple crawl? It's amazingly easy to do: paste your text in. Use the "placement" to put it at the bottom (or wherever). set your length you want it up for. set first keyframe so the entire text is to the right side of the view area. Set last keyframe so it's far left.

all done. No pro-type or anything else needed. Been doing that since Vegas 3LE & it works perfectly.

Mostly because I'm talking 2,000 characters, with edges, contours, shadows, color gradients, and crawling over a lower third for 2-3 minutes. Nothing comes close to Cayman Graphics.
