How do I create a credit roll?

In Layout, go to your Scene Manager, right click to create a Scene Group. Put your scenes to be rolled in that Scene Group.

Click on the main layer in Object Manager, then in Object Inspector, you should see a Scene Group tab, this is where you can set some parameters of the roll, eg. speed, duration.

On the individual scenes that make up the roll, you should be able to find in the Object Inspector a Roll/Crawl tab, and set the Page Margin bottom number to a number greater than 0 (I used 80) so that there is some space between the scenes as they are rolled, so they don't butt up together.

On a Deko, for example, as you type the roll, the page expands downward to fit the text, your roll consists of one page only. For it to work in XPression, I found I had to type my info across several scenes, as I had to do on the Infinit. I put several items on each page, but you could put one item per page too, I imagine, so that you could delete individual items from the roll without disturbing your other material too much.

To make it roll, drag the Scene Group into Sequence and hit Take Next.

Hope that helps!

With the rolling credits, can I change the text of the templates in Sequencer view? Thanks

Not if it's done in Layout view. You can use a take item group in sequencer view and do basically the same as described above, but you can't set a time duration (only speed). I still don't understand the reason for that limitation, but because of that, I always just use the layout view for my credit rolls.

I think ... It's very simple.

On Squencer

- Create Group Squence

- Drug your scene

- Type your Credit, or you can insert txt file

- Klick scne group

- On "Take inspector item" bellow the squencer

- Select Tab "Scene Control"

- Chose Play Out Mode

- To Roll The Credit, double click the group sequencer

I hope it's help your problem

I tried the roll trick from Layoput. The roll is not responding to slower speed requests. And how can I stop the last line?
