Scrolling title question

vicmilt wrote on 12/29/2005, 4:19 AM

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, but...

how do you move lines around, and/or make insertions into the scrolling title tool list?

OR -
we are in the final stages of titling a film with a grillion people and credits - is there another titling tool that makes more sense for a continually changing list?

Vic, I don't use the scrolling tool. I use the simple "Text" Media Generator.

Using the Placement Tool within MedGen I can have lines and lines of credits and have greater control too!

Wanna VEG? I can email you a sample?

Grazie

Move: Highlight the line you want to move, CUT that line (CTRL-X), highlight where you want the line to be, PASTE that line (CTRL-V)

By "highlight" - I mean click on the square to the LEFT of the text entry box(es).

Insert: Highlight where you want the new line, press "Insert" on the keyboard.

is there another titling tool that makes more sense for a continually changing list?

Yes. Type them all in Word or Excel. When done, copy the entire list and paste it into the credit roll. For more details, look at Vol 2 #9 of my newsletters.

Thanks All for your FAST replies -

I wrote the question then went to have some breakfast.

Yes, Grazie, would you kindly email me a VEG of your titling idea?
vicmilt@VictorMilt.com

And I will also be looking into that cut and paste technique, as well.
