Template Titles

You can make a title, save it, and then use it as a template. If you put the text "%s" in the title template, the %s will be replaced with the text in the title description.

To make the title scroll vertically

Put a long title onto the title window. Zoom out so you can see it all. The text sould run off the top (or bottom) of the viewable area.

Select the Animation tab and click edit start. Now drag the start rectangle to above the viewable area. Select edit end and drag the end rectangle to below the viewable area. Click OK and preview the scrolling title.

The above title scrolls so that text scrolls up the screen. It is as if the camera starts on the "start rectangle" and then pans down to the "end rectangle"
