Tips for making settings Result Text generator
• Text Graphic and Line Graphic
clip wells allow you to fill the
text or the outline with the
image of a clip you apply,
rather than a solid color.
• You can also modify the size,
softness, color, and opacity of
the background
independently of the text.
You can use the Back Graphic
clip well to apply the image
from any clip to the
background.
• The Indent slider works only
with left- or right-aligned text
and moves the entire scrolling
column to the left or right.
• The Gap Width slider works
only with center-aligned text
and lets you define a space
between two pieces of text
on a single line that are
separated by an asterisk (*).
For example, if the first line of
your scrolling text is “Sally
Grey*Director,” moving the
slider changes the gap
between “Sally Grey” and
“Director.” This is useful if you
want to create center-aligned,
two-column scrolls.
• The Fade Size slider narrows
the vertical display area of
your scrolling text in the
frame, fading the text in and
out at the bottom and the
top.
• The In and Out points of the
edited generator clip
determine the duration of the
scroll from the bottom to the
top of the screen (or vice
versa). The longer the clip, the
slower the movement of the
scroll.
