Use a motion path for both and title text, not the credit roll.

Andrew

Thanks Bob, I will try, even if I am not so expert in using photoshop.
I have 45 names to scroll with 45 photos....I'll need all the day to do it!!!?

Andrew, I was thinking to use the text generator for text and a track for each pic....and then track motion. But I need to synchronize the track with the scrollin text.....45 pics and 45 names. I think is a BIG job. Maybe better to try with photoshop!?

Hello Raf

Don't use track motion, use event pan crop, it's more flexible for this.

1) Add your scroll using event pan/crop to the first text event
2) Cut the event and 'paste event attributes' to the picture event.
3) Repeat 2 for all your other text and images.

This way you keep flexibilty and control in vegas and no need to spend hours editing your images. Also, if you need to change the length, you just change the length of the events.

Edit: sorry, 2) copy the event ...

Andrew

I thought that it may be easier to have track 1 for the text, and track 2 for the pics and make track 2 the compositing child for the other and use the parent motion (track motion) in track 1 to control both so that they both move perfectly in sync.

Hello TeeJay!
I tried to do it, but only the text in track1 is moving!! Even if parent of the track 2!? Maybe I don't do it right???

Andrew, yes, this is not a bad idea...is working! The only thing is that with 45 text events and 45 pics is a long work..But maybe be the best solution!?
BTW...you know if any other editing software has the functionality to put together text and images and then make a scroll? The perfect solution could be to add in Vegas the possibility to import images in the Text Generator Event...a sort of hibrid generator of text and images! What do you think?

Raf

Sorry TeeJay, now I got it...is working!!:-)

...a sort of hibrid generator of text and images

There is, Heroglyph will animate text, video and images

I've done 4,500 images with titles but not scrolling!
The titler in Vegas isn't scriptable so we kind of cheated and did it all in DVDA via subtitles. Fortunatley the images which were on 35mm slide were in sequence and the titles in spreadsheets. Wrote a bit of VB to read the spreadsheets and write .sub files that would load into DVDA with TC, job done.
We got even smarter, we used another language subtitle to display the file names of the slides, so if anyone wanted a print from the scanned slides they could easily cross reference the image in the DVDA slide show to the file from the scanner.

Sorry, none of this relates to what you're trying to achieve.

One suggestion, don't think of the probelm as how it looks. It doesn't have to be a continuous strip that scrolls. Once the first image scrolls off the screen, it can be replaced by the second image. So you want the track motion doing a sawtooth motion.
So you lay down all you images on one track. Track beneath all the text. Use event pan /crop to offset them into place. Then make those two tracks child tracks of an upper track. This track contains nothing but the keyframes that control the motion of the lower 2 tracks.

Once you got the parents track keyframes right for the first couple of images it's just a matter of duplicating those keyframe along the T/L.

Probably all this is a bit long winded but play around with it a bit and hopefully the penny will drop.

Bob.
