Rolling titles move characters vertically up the screen and are commonly used for production credits. They always move from the bottom to the top of the screen. Think of the end of a movie and the credits that quickly pass by. Sometimes you want to let the text crawl across the screen.

Click and hold the cursor to grab the title and drag it to your video. To add the title in a unique position, drop it between the slides so that it will coordinate where it appears in your timeline. To overlay the title on existing video, drop it above the slide where you want the title or text to superimpose.

Create a rolling or crawling title

1. Do one of the following: To create a rolling title, choose Text > Roll/Crawl Options > Roll.
2. Create the text and graphic objects for the title.
3. Select the Roll/Crawl Options in the Roll/Crawl Options dialog box.
4. Specify options as desired, and then click OK.

Roll: The text will move up the screen. Crawl Left, Crawl Right: The crawl direction (rolling text always moves up the screen). Start Off Screen: Whether the credits start completely off the screen and roll on or begin with the uppermost text item at the top or edge of the screen.

Computers To cause (displayed text or graphics) to move up, down, or across the screen so that a line of text or graphics appears at one edge of the screen for each line that moves off the opposite edge: scroll a document; scroll a page of text.
