Scrolling Credits?

[damnim]

Anybody know of a software for making scrolling credits. I want to add have lyrics scrolling while the music is playing.

You can use Adobe Premiere for generating titles that scroll.
You can also try use VirtualDub and the subtitler filter. But I am not sure how well this works for number of line like in lyrics.

Thanks for the reply. I don't like premier to much so I'll try virtual dub first.

For some reason I could never get the hang of the program.

Does Vegas Video do scrolling credits?

Yes, vegas will do scrolling credits, however, it's not easy..... I don't like adobe either, but I have found that this is the easiest to use for the scrolling credits......


CHEERS!

Well I guess then I'll have to reinstall Premiere. Seems I'll have to read the help file to use it. Maybe I'll like it better once I learn how to use it.

Premiere is not the most intuitive program on the planet.

Thanks all for the help!

I used a demo along time ago that did nothing but scrolling credits and titles and worked excellent. I was hoping someone would trigger a memory cell as to what the name of it was. Even tho it wouldn't save, I could have done a window capture video of it.

I think( I am not sure) the help that comes along with Adobe describes a method to create scrolling titles. You could also check out Adobe's site for the Forums on Premiere. You should get a lot of info there.

Can't you just make a tall image file and use a 'pan' filter to scroll it? Haven't tried it, but it seems logical to me.

I guess I should probably ask here instead of post a new topic. Does anyone know if Vegas Video 3.0 supports .flm files? I think it is flm, it is the filmstrip file in Premiere.

Thanks.

Well Gent's I'll take the advice and snoop around some sites. If I can remember and find that program that does those credits I'll post it here with the address.

Thanks

I prefer after fx. it's simpler to use, and has more possibilities for things like that.

Well I found it. Its called TELESCREEN-32 and it truly is the best for doing scrolling credits. http://www.drs-digitrax.com/index.htm. You can do just about anything with the text as you can a normal text editor.

Downloaded a copy of it again and now I remember why I pitched it. Every 5th line it puts in TELESCREEN-32 text. 195.00 wow. I don't know.

Thanks for all the help.

Vegas is to complicated for what I want the scrolling for. It would take decades.
