Newbie question - How add a "news" effect?

Hello guys!

I'm new using Sony Vegas, but I'm a big fan of this damn good software!

My name is Rodrigo Sakae, I'm brazilian, living exactly in Florianópolis (Santa Catarina - Guga Kuerten's hometown - who likes tennis?), so sorry about my english, first of all!

Anyway, I'm editing some videos here, but I can't realize how add a "news" effect in long phrases I wanna add.

Hard to understand, huh? Well, actually, I wanna add a long phrase (for example: "Criciúma's won the match against Atlético by the score of 4 goals versus 1 and now the team is in 1st place on the championship") passing by the bottom of the screen, like CNN, FOX News etc.

I've tried to add the "credit roll" effect on several phrases (example: "Criciúmas won the match against Atlético", "The score was 4 goals versus 1", "The team is now in 1st place on the championship"), but I don't want single sentences on the screen, I want ONE LONG PHRASE PASSING THROUGH THE SCREEN!

So, if I posted in the wrong forum, sorry, I though it was a "scripting problem"!

If my english made all of you scretching your heads, hope explain better soon!

Best regards from Brazil,
Rodrigo

Actually, it's NOT a scripting problem. Use the standard text media and then use the positioning tab to have it scroll across the screen. This has been discussed recently on the Video forum.

Thank you jetdv, I've just realized that the word "SCROLLING" it would be better to search than "long phrase", "long sentence", "big phrase", "big text"...

I was reading the threads containing this sentences above, when I realized that the word "scrolling" it would be much easiest to search for the effect I was looking for. When you probably was typing this message, I found the answer on this thread: http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=372805

Thanks, now I can make it my videos just a bit better!

Best regards
Rodrigo
