I need to create a video with a motion background and then add 5 lines of text which every other line moves from left to right. And the others move right to left.
Any suggestions on this project. Using Vegas 13 Pro.
Thanks,
Jeff
There are several ways to move text around. Pan crop is the most common. Using the push transition can be a nice short cut.
@jkerry - Are you then wanting each Line of Text to remain on the Screen? Or should they then move off Screen? Do you want the five lines to “Build” into a stationary Five line Block?
I am looking for something like they use on News Shows in the background where the text continues to scroll left and right for all the lines.

@jkerry - I’m now a little confused? Do you want the Text in the BG or is your Motion Graphic in the BG? Or is it this?:
Foreground: News Show (Newscaster?)
Midground: Your animated Text Block
Background: Motion Background
Download and modify this Vegas 13 project.
This is what I was looking for Thanks a great deal.
Do you think that anyone can keep the meaning or content of the text?
Or is the main focus just the effect and not that information is given?
For me it would be very confusing to include information in this way.
I agree @walter-i. It needs to stop when the lines reach the middle so viewers can read it?
My goodness, I wouldn't be able to read my own name when it slides like that on the screen...
@walter-i. "Do you think that anyone can keep the meaning or content of the text?"
I didn't make any value judgement about the effects of jkerry's request. I only created a starter project that one can use to meet the stated goals by changing the length of the media on the timeline and/or by moving Track Motion keyframes.

I didn't ask for help to see how people are talking about it. If you watch talk shows the text does not stop and continues to scroll across the screen. It is not made to stop and read, it is a background to go into a TV screen behind the speaker. Nothing more. It adds to the set.
>> it is a background
If I understand the OP, to put the text into the background would be the challenge. I think you'd need a matte in the foreground.

Gosh, no criticism of your work - just great!

I thought it would be a credits and merely expressed my concerns that no one could read for overstimulation.
