How to: Long Scrolling Text in Sony Vegas 13

[@shadowthefurryscientist]

Text Media is blanked out, what do I do

[@MrHartlas]

Thanks for doing this video but I just don't get it, I've watched the video several times and can't really see what's going on, or how to create these keyframes. Not sure why such a simple thing has to be so complicated. I'll keep trying and maybe I'll get it to work!

[@Hopesedge]

Yeah sorry about that, when I worked out how to do it myself I didn't really think as much about how to put it into a format that people would understand at first glance, so the video is quite complicated and can be quite cryptic since I don't fully explain how to do each individual thing like creating keyframes and such. Best of luck though!

[@sampletext9426]

Thank you very much. However, when we do this, the preview is very laggy and very slow. Rendering the scrolling section is also much slower, I wonder why Vegas is so laggy when it's just scrolling text, not even complex animation EDIT: Nevermind, I have found out why it is laggy. I had shadows enabled, turning it off removes the lag. If you want shadows, you can render the scrolling text first, then insert the clip into your project so it won't be too laggy. Make sure the speed is correct before rendering it.

The Armada (Trance Music Label) maked yours videos with this effect,and I've always wondered how she does those videos. With your tutorial, it helped me a lot.

This is crazy useful. Thank you so much for this!

this saved my day i love you

Damn, this was a useful video, I was stuck searching the internet the whole day for how to make the text not loop, turns out I only needed to change the duration. Music choice was good - is it from Heroes of Might and Magic? I am a bit curious why does this work the way it does? - like setting everything up for the scrolling text.

[@JamesDabbagian]

Heroes of Might and Magic did use this for an NES title but this is Pachebel's Canon & Gigue in D Major

Man, I do not want to sound like a hater, but most of us are not genuises and cannot find all the buttons. I am absolutely stuck at a stage. I have paused, looked, but cannot find this. I have found an X coordinate and I have no clue how to move this, I am changing the numbers and nothing is happening. Why would you skip parts and have a more detailed explanation so that idiots like me can actually understand. My text is not even moving during the changes, most likely I am doing something wrong... For about a bloody hour I am looking at this and trying to understand, how is this informative, when a person for an hour is still having difficulties...

[@Hopesedge]

Sorry about that, when I found out how to do it myself through trial and error I figured I'd make a tutorial for anyone interested but also for myself for future refence in case I forget, so it's really not as easy to understand as it should be for people who aren't familiar with the process.

[@teokoev6853]

@@Hopesedge No, problem, mate. I hope you don't take this the wrong way. It was constructive criticism. I did try to do this yesterday, but in a section I am really lost. I found out how to speed it up and down thanks to your tutorial, so it did help out. I will try, but that second X coordinate is really killing me.

[@michaelkrue4528]

I'm in your boat. Here and elsewhere they say things like make a keyframe here and there. I'm still trying to figure that one. It still looks like the way mine does, zipping by over and over at warp speed. Another video I saw said go to legacy title in fx. There isn't such a thing in 14 as best as I can figure.

[@scaryreptile]

good song choice lol, all is right with the world

[@lotto009]

I have long text how I do to running as above please ad visor step by step

[@Fireworksandthunder]

Does not work for longer pieces of text!

[@victorgustavo4366]

work man, but you need click in your Text Media : PROPERTIES > Media> Media Leght, and chance de time leght of your text, exemple : 00:15:00 .

[@Galactipod]

Duration goes until the very end, still extremely fast.

[@partymartin28]

Fucking bless you, my guy. Super useful guide.

[@doobresick]

This is a crawl, not a scroll

[@GlucoseGarbage]

song name?

[@Hopesedge]

Canon in D

[@GlucoseGarbage]

aye, thanks. great tutorial as well, you get a like

[@lukaszdlx]

cool

[@lonestarr8455]

Seems like a lot of work.

[@Hopesedge]

Yeah it is a lot of work for such a little result, but it's the only way I've found to do it in Vegas 13
