How would I go about creating a "crawl" across the bottom of a video, a la CNN, CNBC, etc?
I'm using Vegas 6. The "credits" plug-in doesn't do the job. The best I came up with was this:
- Generate text with a long string containing everything I want in the crawl
- On the text event's placement tab, set a keyframe at the start of the text event with the text position setting on "bottom left." Set another keyframe at the end with position to "bottom right."
I had to experiment a lot with the positioning, and I added spaces to the text to make it start and end off-screen. It's a kludge, and I'm hoping there's a more elegant way to accomplish this. Maybe later versions of plug-ins handle it, but since I'm staying with Vegas 6d for now, all suggestions would be appreciated.
