Scrolling Text Right to Left ryan34 wrote on 11/20/2003, 1:52 PM In Vegas 3.0, I want to do a basic, good ol' text scroll from right to left at the bottom of my movie. Is it possible? Ideally, I'd like to be able to have a "news ticker" at the bottom that can be rolling text from R to L the entire video (8 minutes). Any suggestions? HELP!!! rworthen@kemi.com Back to post

Type a long line across the bottom, then use the Placement tab to position the created text at beginning and end keyframes. If the length of 8 minutes worth of text is too unwieldy, you can break it down to smaller chunks and start one after the other. Set the Smoothness setting (halfway up on left hand side) to zero and movement will be regular and consistent. jaegersing wrote on 11/22/2003, 6:48 PM Thanks for that Peter. I didn't know the text generator could handle more than what can be seen on screen at one time. It works great. Richard Hunter 1
