To create crawling text:
1 Enter text—typically several words or a sentence on one line—onto a new track.
2 Format the text, paying particular attention to any parameter affecting the total
horizontal length of the text—font, size, tracking, and so on.
3 Apply a crawl effect from the Scrolls and Crawls category in the Effects tab of the
Media Browser.
4 Adjust the speed of the crawl, which is now visible in the Live Wireframe preview, by
dragging the right edge of the effect bar in the Timeline, or by changing the Speed
setting in the Timing tab of the Inspector.
5 In the Timeline, drag the right edge of the track to match the duration of the effect.
6 With the playhead over the first frame, drag the track in the Canvas to adjust its
starting position.
