OLLING THE REDITS
Recall that the Credits page contains one text object that extends off the bottom edge of
the screen. Furthermore, unless you changed it, the Credits page does not have a back-
ground—that is, the Background On/Off option in the BACKGROUND menu is deselected.

Creating a Roll Transition

P
AGE
This lesson shows how to perform a roll transition to scroll the text object on the
Credits page from the bottom to the top of the screen.
It's a fairly common practice to roll the credits at the end of the production. It is also com-
mon practice to roll the credits over the closing, live-video scenes. If you connect a video
source (such as a VTR) to PowerScript's VIDEO IN connector, the video signal plays behind
the rolling credits as long as the page does not have a background. We won't cover this pro-
cedure in this tutorial, but it is discussed in other chapters.
