Press the Scroll Lock key to engage Play Mode, then press the Numeric Enter key.
There is a slight delay while PowerScript prepares the page and transition. After a moment or
two the Credits text object begins rolling up from the bottom of the screen.
When the Credits page finishes playing, PowerScript automatically loops back to the begin-
ning of the project and begins to display the first page (the Opening page). When this occurs,
press Scroll Lock to disengage Play Mode, then press Alpha Enter to engage Edit Mode.
(To stop the project following a credit roll, insert a blank page following the credits page and
set it to infinite duration. You'll learn more about page duration in the next lesson.)

On the keypad, press 3, then Numeric Enter to display the Credits page.

Select the Page Duration option, set the Seconds text box value to 5, and set the Frames
text box value to zero.
By selecting the Page Duration option and entering a value, you are telling PowerScript to dis-
play this page for a specific period of time—5 seconds.
4
In the Transition IN and Transition OUT text boxes, enter 2 for the Seconds values, and
enter zero for the Frames values.
These values specify how long the transition plays when the page enters the screen (Transi-
tion IN) and when it exits the screen (Transition OUT).
Transition IN + Page Duration + Transition OUT determines how long the page occupies the
screen. In this case, that is 9 seconds (2+5+2=9).
