Creating rolling and crawling textYou can make text roll (move vertically up or down across the screen) or crawl (move horizontally left or right). When you add the title to a program, the speed of moving text is determined by the duration you specify for the title in the Timeline. For example, if you originally specified a duration of 20 seconds for a rolling title, and then you change the duration to ten seconds, the title must roll twice as fast to move the same number of lines across the screen in half the time. To create rolling or crawling type:
![]() Dragging the rolling title tool (left) creates an empty rolling title text object (right). Note: To make the text roll or crawl, you must type enough text to overfill the text box. If you don't have enough text, overfill the box using blank spaces. To create blank spaces for rolling text, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS). To create blank spaces for crawling text, press the spacebar. To preview rolling or crawling type: Drag the slider at the bottom left corner of the Title window. Premiere plays back all rolling or crawling text objects in the Title window. If you have imported a background frame (see Editing titles), Premiere uses the clip containing the background frame as the duration for the rolling or crawling type, and plays it along with the type. Note: This slider does not preview special timings. Special timings depend on the clip duration in frames, which is determined by the Timeline. To preview special timings, add the title to a project Timeline (see Adding a title to a project) and preview the Timeline. |
