Creating Rolling Credits

You can use the Scrolling Text generator to create text that scrolls up the screen, like
credits at the end of a movie. The controls in the Scrolling Text generator are similar to
those of the Text generator; however, the duration of the clip you set with In and Out
points determines how fast the text scrolls up the screen. Press the Return key while
entering text in the Text field to break up the text so it flows nicely on the screen.

To open the Scrolling Text generator:

1

Open the Generator pop-up menu at the bottom-right corner of the Viewer.

2

Choose Text, then Scrolling Text from the submenu.
