Scrolling Title Animation in VS7

Post by JohnN »

I have been trying to set up a title animation that scrolls up from the bottom of the page and fades into the centre of the screen, the same sort of text scrolling as seen on the star wars films, can anyone offer any help ?

While many editors can simulate this to a degree the best way to do it is with Microsoft Movie Maker 2 (in WinXP SP2).

It has a title animation called "Scroll, Perspective" that does exactly what you want. Just create the title with a black background and save it at the frame size you're using as an uncompressed *.avi and use it as an overlay.

If you want a star background then load in a starfield video clip and chromakey the title over it using a black color selection from the color picker (effectively simulating a luma key).
