Hi,
Is there a way to do rolling horizontal credits in Magic? Similar to the movie credits that flow down the screen but instead they travel from left to right.
Rolling Horizontal Text Credits
Re: Rolling Horizontal Text Credits
You can scroll text in any direction with the transform node, even in the z-plane...
Re: Rolling Horizontal Text Credits
Hello,
OK. thanks. But how do i make it scroll? I use the Transform module but I've never seen a scroll feature and I haven't been able to figure out how yet. Do I use one of the modifiers? If so, which one? And do I put that modifier on a text file? Thanks
I'm assuming it has to do with rotating around a vector point.

To have a Text module scroll on X, add an increase modifier to Translate X (+ve or -ve depending on scroll direction).
If you want a loop add a scale modifier after a ramp modifier on the X parameter of the Translate module instead.

Many thanks. Bless U and your offspring.
Re: Rolling Horizontal Text Credits
I got this to work but for some reason the it starts at bottom half of the text file. Any suggestions? also, how do you control the speed of the scrolling?
Re: Rolling Horizontal Text Credits
Add an offset modifier according to the length of your text and where you want it to start, To control the scrolling speed, adjust the Increase modifier up or down for the first method or the ramp*scale modifiers for the looping method.

Thanks again, bro. Never would have been able to figure that out without your help. Respect.
