Lock video to scrolling text?

Hello, i'm trying to do a very basic thing - i want a scaled down video to follow the credits roll. The credit roll is done with the scroll up text behavour.
in After Effects it can be done with one click (parent) but how do you do it in Motion?

Oh yeah. Text Scroll is better, for some reason. The text looks much better than if you animated it via Move or key frames.
Test this to see for yourself.
If that's the case, use the Text Scroll and then just key frame the video for a precise sync between the two (syncing with Move would probably be difficult).

Help on Lock Up in Scrolling Text Generator

I'm finally getting to use my copy of FCE HD (V 3.0) eventhough I've had it since last summer and I'm having a problem.
When I start the scrolling text generator, I can use all of the controls EXCEPT for the color button. As soon as I click the SQUARE to pull up the pallet and the pallet comes up, the machine locks up except for the mouse. Abosolutely nothing works to close the pallet or close anything else for that matter. I have to push the Power button on the machine to turn it off.
I've used the color pallet in many other controls with no problem.
Is this a bug?
I have searched but haven't found anything like it reported by anyone else.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

AHA!
Tom thanks for the "deeper" tip, it's what had my brain going when I went to the "plist" file in preferences and discovered it's last modified date was 1970.
Ian thanks for the instructions on how to get to the pref's.
The epiphany occurred as I saw that date and realized that I had been ignoring the little window that had popped up on the last months startups that said the time was messed up.
I realized that my little battery had gone dead but kept using the machine anyhow since nothing seemed to be malfunctioning.
Well sports fans, the time being off was the source of the problem. After I reset it to current time and date, I was able to use the color picker right away without incident.
Interestingly enough, the color pickers in Live Type were working just fine AND the Color Correction in FCE were working just fine.
Eventhough I have a B.S.C.S., I would have never in a million years guessed that the clock had any impact on text scrolling.
All I can say is "Bob's your uncle" Ian & Tom.
Many thanks!!
Ken

How can I lock in (or pin) text box so it will scroll text within frame?

Stuck. Thanks

Hi
Could you please elaborate the concern in detail? Is it that you want to include a scrolling text on a page like example shown here : http://projectuni01.businesscatalyst.com/marquee-tag ?

HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM
found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures: LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...

Help with Scrolling Text

I am a big iMovie fan, but I have just had a problem while attempting to create a video game trailer. I have never experienced this before, and I do not know how to get by it.
Ok. So I have 20 seconds of scrolling text, and about 28 lines of text. 247 characters with no spaces if you really want to know. I have 20 seconds of video behind it.
Here's the problem: The last five lines of text are cut off. They are completely normal: Helvectia, Bold, 16 size, Left sided, white. There is no fancy text or images around it besides for the video behind it. (It played fine before with no video behind it).
I've tried resizing the video, the text length, everything I can think of, and nothing works. Please help ASAP.
I am running this on a MacBook, iMovie '08, the total time of video is 41 seconds. The video behind the scrolling text is a .mov file.
Thanks!

Note: The problem seems to have fixed itself. I do not know what the problem was, but I was messing around with the text and I noticed the missing lines were back. If anybody knows what the problem was, or wants to contribute to this post, please do so.
Thanks!

Flicker on Scrolling Text

I have a problem with flicker on scrolling text in a movie after the DVD has been burned (on the computer monitor or TV it doesn't matter). Before burning but after encoding, the movie plays the MPEG file fine with no flicker. Even with DVDSP simulation there is no flicker. DVD is doing something to the movie when burning. What could that be?
The movie was encoded and burned all with up-to-date Apple software. The text is san-serif and plenty large enough.
Thank you,
Phil

Yeah, I know what you mean.
You using the Scrolling Text from FCP or in Live Type?
My experiences using Scrolling Text from Video Generators>Text>Scrolling Text from FCP hasn't been too great. To minimize the flicker, I drop a de-interlace filter on the text, and that seems to help a bit.
Another thing that I do is keyframe individual texts (created in either FCP or Live Type), and fake the scroll that way. FCP or Motion can do this.
And I've been wanting to try this, but haven't yet. Create a Photoshop document with the dimensions of the width of the video screen (720 Pixels Wide for DV) and make it as long as it needs to be. Be sure to have a transparent background, and begin laying out the text as you want it. then import it into FCP. Keyframe the .psd to make it scroll how you want it.
Don't know if those will help, but those are things that I do.

Green shadows when scrolling text after calibration

Hello, I'm having strange screen behavior after calibrating it (I'm using Spyder 3 hardware with both its own software and ColorEyes DisplayPro).
What happens is that when the screen is correctly calibrated I get annoying green shadows when I'm scrolling text. This actually happens whenever there's a "moving-high contrast" situation (for example, if i'm opening a folder and screen pixels change luminance quickly) and of course in a multitude of different applications.
I also uploaded a video to youtube to show the situation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNF4i0djFM&feature=youtu.be
As you may notice, when I choose the standard color profile (uncalibrated) the behavior disappears (0:32 in the video). When I revert to the calibrated profile it comes back.
I think something might be wrong with my screen (which, by the way, is out of its applecare warranty since two weeks ago...).

Does this still happen if you run Firefox in Safe Mode?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Quality of scrolling text

I am entering a contest that only allows for 250mb max. When I look at the scrolling text in the film once the movie has been uploaded to the contest's website, it looks pretty bad. Can I alter any of the expert settings above (or not mentioned) to specifically increase the quality and appearance of the scrolling text?
I compressed the movie using expert settings:
Movie to Quicktime Movie
VIDE0: H. 264, Quality: best, encoding mode: multi pass; dimensions: 320x240, scale: letterbox
AUDIO: Format ACC; sample rate: 32,000kHz, Channels: stereo (L R); bit rate: 80 Kbps
FAST START (Prepare for Internet Streaming).

If that's the only problem, another option is to use a thicker, san serif font like Arial so there's less to degrade during the video compression process.
If they allow Flash or DivX formats, both of those can be high quality but small file size.

Can i change the colour of my scrolling texts from FCPX

i have a scrolling texts created at the end of my video clips in FCPX.
in this credit scrolling texts, i want to show the names of singers and their songs.
I also want to display them in different colour.
SINGERS white colour
SONGS red
i highlight the songs' names and changed to red
but what happen in FCP is all the texts after the one i highlighted become red.
just wonder if i want to do such thing.
Do I need Motion5?
Also FCPX seems not able to let me enter any RGB vales.
Can Motion let me do that?
Thanks.

hI gfxzen,
i finally did it.
i needed to double click my title texts in VIEWER to change colour to particular texts.
this's a good new to me.
i know this's not a FCP forum, i posted a question there and post the same question here. I thought maybe i can only do this in Motion.
now i know i can do it. It seems to me I can only do it if i double click my title texts in VIEWER.
i'm still not able to do what i want in TEXT inspector. i can change the colour but this always ends up changing colour for all the texts.
if you don't mind, i have few more questions:
after i double click the text in the VIEWER, a bounding box appears. i can do anything within the text box.
how can i get rid of the bounding box after i've done my edit. i always click on the inspector button to close off anything.
now i can change the colour, can FCPX let me enter any RBG valves.
I can pick a colour in the colour panel, it seems i can't enter any particular vales i want.
don't know if you know the answer or not.
if you do, can you let me know? thanks.

Scrolling text from motion too fast in fcp

Help!
I tried using motion 4 for scrolling text but it scrolls too fast... it scrolls perfect speed in motion but when I open it up in fcp 7.0 it goes faster.
my sequence settings match for fcp and motion 4.
I have tried auto, custom and fixed .
I have played with scroll rate mulitplier
I have shortened and lengthened the timeline
I have gone to some video's on setting this up i.e. vtc.com/products/AppleMotion4/Text/90443 and other videos... nothing I do seems to slow it down,.
Thank you for your assistance

Scrolling Text Frame Problema

No me sale la opcion Scrollable Frame

Que se supone que tengo que hacer???

What are we supposed that I have to do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-20irfB4M8

That video is accurate. After you paste the content frame into the container frame, select the container frame (not the content frame), and then the Scrollable Frames option should appear in the Overlays panel when you scroll down.

Speed of scroll text

Hi!
How can I adjust the scrolling speed of the end credits?

AppleMan1958 wrote:
You need to adjust the length of the scroll by dragging the handle at either end. Make it longer to scroll slower. Make it shorter to scroll faster.
[Also, see this tutorial|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#titles]
There appears to be another issue (also seen it reported elsewhere in this forum) in that you can't have a long string of text with the scrolling text. Whether it is something to do with the number of lines or whatever (it is definitely not a time thing), the scroll text option won't let you go past a certain point. If I add one more line at the top, I lose one at the end, regardless of the length of time of the clip. I'm having to split the text into two separate entries, but there is a gap. Scrolling text insists on putting an "ending" of some type after the last line of text that is not editable. Very frustrating. Other video packages I've used adjust the speed of the scroll based on the amount of time, but don't have limitations as to how much data you want to have. As I said, others have reported it as well.

Scrolling text is jumpy/pulsing when compressed

I'm making end credits using the scroll up text animation behavior in Motion 2.1.2. Whenever I compress it for DVD Studio Pro and insert it the text looks terrible. It is pulsing in and out and is hardly readable. I found a few other people who have had this problem, but no solutions that have helped.
I have done credits using the scrolling text in Final Cut without much problem, but for this project I need motion in order to use text of different sizes.
Here are my specs:
Project Properties - NTSC DV; 720x480; Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC D1/DV - 0.90; Field Order: Lower First (Even); Frame Rate: 29.97; Background color is black (0%)
Render Settings - Motion Blur Samples: 8; Shutter Angle: 360; Output Antialiasing Method: Best
I used Export using Compressor: DVD Best Quality 90 minutes 4:3; I tried using the Color+Alpha and just Color in the Output options. Premultiply alpha and Use field render are both checked. Use motion blur is not checked.
Most of the text is Geneva Regular 14 pt font. I have tried completely white as well as setting the RGB sliders all at 235 with no difference. I also tried using a black outline with no difference. The scroll up behavior has a rate of 52.
Please help! It took me forever to put these credits together and I don't want to start from scratch with another program. Making the text bigger helps a little bit but I would really like to keep it the same size for timing and format sake. However, I can't keep it like this because it looks terrible both on an Apple Cinema display and on a tv after burned to DVD.
Thanks!

My first guess would be the font itself. Geneva is a pretty thin font and it's not likely to look good interlaced and on a TV. Can you try a thicker font?
I'd also turn off Field Rendering. It looked much worse with it on than off. Keep Frame Blending though.

How do you add a scroll bar to a scrolling text field in a folio?

I've created iPhone and iPad folios with multiple pages. There are scrolling text fields on each page. The fields scroll as designed, but the scroll bars on the text fields only appear while actually scrolling. Is there a way to have them always visible so the user knows there is more hidden info? The only bars that are constantly visible are the page scroll bars. Thanks!

Why is your content pane null? I thought the content pane was the top-level in all windows? If you want complete control over the location of a list box, you want to set the layout of the content pane to null... the way I almost always do this is the other way around, to create my own panel and use setContentPane instead:
JPanel content = new JPanel(null);
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(myListBox);
scroll.setBounds(380, 10, 500, 500);
content.add(scroll);
setContentPane(content);

I have nothing displaying in the web-part. How can I make this to work?

This is how i was able to do it. Edit html source.
<div align="center"><marquee id='scroll_news4' bgcolor=#ff9966 "><font color="#000000" size="+1" ><strong>Outlook is down! IT is working on it! </strong></font></marquee></div>
<input type='Button' value='Stop' id ='b1' onClick='button_click()';>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</script>

Lock video to scrolling text?
