Program / Method to make scrolling credits

[KillerQ]

Hey all,

I am using MemoriesOnTV (MOT) right now to make a slidewhow. I was wondering what the best method / program would be to use to make a scrolling credit sequence that I can thow at the end of this? I don't think I can do it with MOT. So, a 3rd party program that would render the sequence and put it in .mpeg format would be ideal. Freeware would be even better. I may be able to come up with a non-scrolling credit sequence using MOT itself, but the extra touch would be nice as well...


Thanks,

Matt!

Here's one that I wrote for AviSynth.

image=ImageReader("credits.bmp",0,1,1) # image is 720x2000

return scroll(image)

function scroll(image)
{
	vh=height(image)
	vw=width(image)
	fh=480

	image=addborders(image,0,fh,0,fh)
	a=vh+fh-1
	v=changefps(image,a).trim(0,a)
	v=animate(0,a,"crop",v,0,0,vw,fh, v,0,a,vw,fh)

	return interlaced(v) #video
	#return progressive(v) # film
}

function interlaced(v)
{
	#v=v.SeparateFields.SelectEvery(4, 1,2) # slow
	v=v.SeparateFields.SelectEvery(8, 1,4) # fast
	#v=v.SeparateFields.SelectEvery(16, 1,8) # supa-fast
	v=weave(v)
	
	return v.assumeFPS(29.970)
}

function progressive(v)
{
	#v=v # progessive film, very slow
	v=SelectEvery(v,2, 0) # progressive film, slow
	#v=SelectEvery(v,4, 0) # progressive film, fast
	#v=SelectEvery(v,8, 0) # progressive film, supa-fast

	return v.assumeFPS(23.976)
}

You basically make a long bmp file with your credits in it, then it gets scrolled. Set the scroll speed by uncommenting the appropriate lines. For interlaced or progressive, uncomment the appropriate line.

Doesn't WAX in our tools section do this too?
