how do you change the speed of an animiated title

Trevor posted the answer above. But I am not happy with how the speed is. My slide show texts scrolls to fast, I don't want it to go further out because it would ruin my storyline in itself. It is not just for the animated titles but for any title. We should be able to manipulate the speed as other programs offer that. I am not sure why they could not make this feature better. I am going to try the work around that was posted here also.

Thank you

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I did once from my phone but I see it did not post for some reason. I have been at the hospital with my father, he is on life support and have spent a lot of time with him.

Thank you

I am interested in how other programs do it. Could you name some of these "other" programs?

Hi Carolyn

Sorry to hear about your father.
When you have time and back with your PC could you create a new project containing only the text/title clip.
Save the project zip and attach to your post, we can open that in our programs to see just what is happening.

But basically the text needs to be on screen long enough to read, for a few characters maybe 4 seconds is sufficient, but if you have a lot of text then it needs to be displayed for a longer time.
If you have a lot of lines of text as you indicate scrolling, then again the text needs longer to read.

The only way to do that is increase the duration of the text clip to slow the scroll.

If your video is shorter than the text box then maybe consider creating an image to fill the space. Freeze Frame could be used.

Hi JW

Yip, I'm interested.

My Workaround for stretching title animation while maintaining the stationary texts of acceptable length.

• Open a new project.
• Pull animated title template to the timeline.
• Complete the title text as desired "first day with my title editor" (or something like this).
• Now stretch the title on the TL,
• up to the animation has my desired duration (check time to stationary part).
• Export the title as a file and then import it into the real project.
• In the stationary part of the title a stationary part is cut out (so that the readability is ensured).

That should be it and I hope it is understandable.

Hi JW

Hmmm...interesting. Static titles tilted etc using Boris Grafitti et al must come a close second, but, use what ever is easiest/within your comfort zone.

Thanks for sharing.
