liormessinger Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi so far i managed to only find single line effects thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi You can't since I think its meant to be used like a "ticker tape" and there is only a single line. You can make it as long as you wish but only the last screen width will appear. It would be better if it scrolled left when the screen was filled (and had sound) BTW the Space entry problem is odd as I am trying to find the conditions when it happens. So far it has behaved correctly. But it definitively occurred. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_major Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 You can have a typewriter clip for each line. Use "Position" effect to move the line in to place. Change "Animation Duration" to get the right speed. Extent "Clip Duration" so the text stay still after the animation finished. And then the second line start at where the first line animation ends...etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi C-Major Where are "Animation Duration" setting and the "Clip Duration" settings? To make the animation play faster or slower It's logical to use the "Change Clip Speed" setting but this doesn't work correctly with these animated texts e.g. Create animated typewriter with text "1234567890" Default image duration set at 5 seconds. Text lasts 5 seconds Change clip speed to 200%. Text sequence shortens to 2.5 seconds. The animation now does NOT change speed to twice as fast, it now only counts up to 5. Is this a bug?

Nationalsolo Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi Example Set default image duration to 4 seconds Placed a black blank on the timeline as a background and drag it out to 8 seconds Create a typewriter clip of "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS" This will go on the overlay track (Track 2) with an automatic duration of 4 seconds. Select the clip and use Edit clip duration button under the clip preview window and change it to 8 seconds. The text duration will now be 8 seconds long on the timeline but the animation will still finish at 4 seconds . Click the FX button and use Position effect to place the text at the required upper line position. Create a second Typewriter text of "OVER THE LAZY DOG" (Typewriter(1)) Drag Typewriter (1) clip from the clip bin (It will have a duration of 4 seconds) and place it on the timeline to start at 4 seconds Use the Position FX again to move the text below the first text line. Display and sequence preview should then look a bit like this (with cursor at the end of the sequence)..... When the timeline is played the first line of text will animate, finish and stay visible whilst second line of text beneath will appear and animate. As c-major says it is a workaround for double lines of animated text although it is a bit involved and not so intuitive. The first thing is to notice there some controls!!
