Long crawling title with Protype ?

I’m trying to create a Crawling Title with Protype.
The online help show how to process (change X offset) but it doesn’t work with long crawling title because the max X offset is 40.
I’m missing something ?
Is there another way ?

Looks like the max offset is actually 200 if you click on the actual number and type in a value.

Thx Edward,
‘200’ should be enough for my current need.

if you're not doing anything fancy, the normal text generator can go on for much longer I belive.

Actually, wanting to learn more about ProType I tried stringing together a super long crawl (or is it a scroll?...we always called it a Ticker tape) .. You can keep it going forever with a little effort and using two video tracks. One flows into the other seamlessly. Each one of these little challenges adds to my knowledge and comfort with ProType.

Is there a manual on Pro Type? No success yet in trying to get it to work. Do I drag and drop? Is there something else that is close to it that has instructions?

There's an article on this site, there's a VASST video on youtube, and there will be an article in the next newsletter I release (hopefully early next week).
