Leslie,

What did you put in the search? I just searched on the words “typewriter text” and got 11 hits. Many of which explain several ways on how to accomplish this.

Try:

Here: Newbie question
Here: AlanC's 'Typewriter' program available for download

The Wildform text app has a lot of good text effects that drop straight into Vegas - including a nice typewriter effect.

So does SWISHmax. The typewriter effect in Swish even has a blinking cursor and pauses briefly at the end of each line before it does a carriage return. The point is, all of these are discussed in the other threads.

I use swishmax for web stuff (it's excellent!). Does vegas now scale the stuff properly? I remember when 5 was first released there were some issues.

No, Vegas does not scale it as you would expect. The key is to create the title as 720x480 in the first place and not have to scale.

It's very easy to do with keyframes. I posted a VEG (inspired by that from another Vegas user) on Spot's site:
