Ticker news scroller [solved]

[zaphodikus]

Anyone know how to make a title scroll like a news ticker tape, a bit lower thirds type thing that just runs right to left in a long row, but is not a real pita to edit the text in by making it one long line and manually poking a motion effect and struggling to add pauses manually and break it up into one effect per scentence?

There is a tutorial "Creating a Lower Thirds Animation in VideoStudio" in the Corel Discovery Center. IT should get you started

You can also find tutorials if you google search for Boris Grafitti Lower Thirds

Thanks all. Perseverance pays.

So my original idea is pretty much the only way. I have a really long message, so to edit the message I have to manually move the message left and right, make changes and then move it back to the start position. I was hopeing to avoid doing that scrabbling left and right. At least I can save the preset and try to break the message into shorter scrollers to make it easier to fix typos. Also a lot easier if I pre-write everything in MS word, to check it, instead of trying to just add in the VS Editor and hope I make no miskates.

(I used to have a few Boris Graffiti in a older VS, but I guess I lost the install binaries at some point. Do the old plugins still work in 2023?)

Sure you must edit in text editor before VS
XP's MovieMaker 2.1 has built in scroller, I believe it has characters limit

** I just made a test, 3909 characters, one liner scroll in VS2020.
Even as VS looks hang, so I let it "do its thing" after I paste such long line and it survived the test.
I did same test in Vegas pro19, it's more complicated.

@asik1 you are a real help
Thanks for that test - I have updated the thread title now, we probably should all start doing that in future to make searches a bit better.

I believe the hanging I had with VS on such demanding task, is my 6 years old system.
