done at the end of a movie. The color, font, and other characteristics of
each line will be preserved. Borders will scroll as well.

Scroll and Crawl Notes
• When you use scroll or crawl, the
transition effects for that page are
disabled. You can't combine fades,
wipes, and slides with a scroll or
crawl.
• Use the speed setting of the In
Effect's menu to set the speed of the
scroll or crawl.
• A scroll is similar to a slide-up ex-
cept that it scrolls straight through,
never stopping in the middle. In ad-
dition, a slide can be in any of four directions and it is possible to make a
page slide in one direction and out another.
• If a page has more than 40-60 lines (depending on the amount of text in
each line), it may be too long for a vertical scroll. If the memory warning
symbol appears when you attempt to play the scrolled page, break it into
two pages or remove some lines.
Hints on Using Effects
• Use simple effects most of the time, reserving fancy effects for when you
want to attract attention, such as
when using the TitleMaker 2000
to create video presentations.
• Use complementary effects for in and out. For example, try a wipe from
the center for the in effect; then wipe back to the center for the out effect.
• Try a medium-speed slide to start a page and a high-speed slide at the end.
the way a news bulletin is displayed over a
television show. A space is inserted between
each pair of lines. If two lines have different
characteristics, the first line will crawl off the
screen before the second one begins its crawl.
You can make a crawl occur at the top,
bottom, or middle of the page, depending on
whether the page is set for top, middle, or
bottom vertical positioning (as described in
Chapter 10).
