Moving (rolling) text ?

I cannot find out how to make the text (titles) rolling from up down (in the most common form , like in the beginning or end of a film). Could you please advice ? Thanks.

Under Media Generators look for Credit Roll.

You can also achieve a similar effect by adding a text event, and then using pan/crop to start the text off the screen and scroll it past the screen.

I sometimes find this easier since it gives a bit more control over the timing of the appearance of different bits of text. But, the credit roll feature is nice since it offers some formatting options that would be difficult to do in just a regular text event.
