VSX9 Scroll Text Horizontally

[ppost]

I want to scroll text horizontally from right to left across the bottom of the screen. I'm sure that it is possible, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it.

You can of course also use 'customise motion' like this - - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7OLC4zMhY4

Hi all
I have just had a need for scrolling text moving with the words of a song and I used BrianCee's second option. It's over a video with a changing background, so I tried to insert a 25% text backdrop, but the backdrop would not follow the text across the screen. Any ideas how to overcome this?
Thanks.

[BrianCee]

are you using the actual "text backdrop" function in the title options panel ? - using that I have no problem at all with scrolling text and backdrop together

Brian, no scroll for me either.
not by choosing Text nor Line.

[BrianCee]

must be something different in my programme then - see it in action here - - https://youtu.be/MailoM9CJnA

when you move the text around the preview screen manually using the mouse does the backdrop move with it

Hi

I think Brian has used Customise Motion after creating the text rather than Text Animation

Yes that is what was said in the previous posts above

Hi each,
it was the text animation I was referring to.

Thanks

Hi Brian
yes, the background moves with the text when moved with the mouse, but when played the text moves across the screen but the background just stands still.

The "second option" uses "Customise Motion"

So not the second option then


I'm going for a long lie down in the dark

I do have some problems in english , but where Customize Motion is hiding in that answer?

** Thanks alan for bringing up another bug in the titles tool (probably since ulead)

Sorry for confusion Brian, that's one of the problems living down here in New Zealand, we are upside down compared with you in the UK!!

I have tried the track motion option, not quite the effect I was after, as the text has to start at the left hand side of the screen, (not comming in from the right) so that the colour backing is across the screen continually from left to right and remains there until the line of text (about 2 screen width's) has finished crossing the screen, and departs to the left of screen. But I will use that for now.

That's one of the things with Video Studio there is usually an alternative way to do things.

Many thanks for your input.

Hi

Not sure what is going on here but is the attached project what you are trying to do?

From the text options panel when setting transparency, make sure the top options are set to Fit to Text not Solid Background.
