Creating Scrolling Credits

The ProType Titler is incredibly powerful and flexible, but this help topic will show you how to quickly create a vertically scrolling credit roll.

  1. Add the ProType Titler to a track.

  2. Double-click the workspace to add a text block.

  3. Type your text or credits, placing one name per line.

TIP You can also paste text from your clipboard. Plain text is added when you paste; fonts and styles are not supported.

  1. Press Esc to exit text-edit mode. You can use the properties pane to edit text properties, character properties, and text block properties to refine the appearance of your credit roll.

TIP A credit roll will create a text block that's much taller than your workspace. Use the magnification and view toolbar to change the magnification level of the workspace.

  1. In the automation controller/timeline, click to position the cursor at the beginning of the timeline.

  2. Drag your text block to the bottom of the frame in the workspace.

  3. Click the Transform tab in the Text Block Properties pane.

  4. Select the Toggle Automation button next to the Offset Y control.

  5. In the automation controller/timeline, click to position the cursor at the end of the timeline.

  6. Drag the Offset Y slider (or drag the text block in the workspace) to move the text block to the top of the frame. A keyframe is created.

  7. You can use the preview toolbar to preview your credit roll.
