Hi

I'm trying to do a credit Roll like this one explain in this very good tutorial

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1F64X23PHE)

except that I wanted this to happen on a background  that would arrive just before the beginning of the credit roll and will disappear at the same time than the logo at the end.

I can't figure out how to do that

Can anybody help me?

I work on Xpression v8

Thanks , Michel

Hi!

Roll and crawl are very poor in Xpression.

Try to do it manually using a long text object and animate it in Scene Manager.
Put an Event object linked to the text and take an action when the event is visible.
In my example I linked it to the text object using a space between them in Visible logic.
Use a quad as a background.

Thanks Gabriel for your help

That's a good way to do it but as I want to see the different lines of text I manage to do something in creating a group shortcut where I play my page with the backround first , then the Group with the roll! It does the job.

The only thing is when the roll is finished I don't know how to put the background offline

I'm still working on it.

OK,

You can create your own ROLL/CRAWL type group, but the first take item in ROLL group should recall a specific take item number (in order to show the background) and the last one other take item number (to take background offline) using a script.

dim takeitem as xpBaseTakeItem
engine.sequencer.GetTakeItemByID(101, takeitem)
takeitem.Execute

In my example the first roll item recall take item no 101 (Background ON) and the last/second one recall 102 (clear the background Layer and take it offline).
The script is launched when the event is "visible".
