Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Rolling Titles look bad

Marquee doesn't handle cut and paste text properly. Start with a text file (if needed, cut and paste the text into a text editor). Then in Marquee select IMPORT>>Text.

Works like a charm.

Hey Ken,

Thanks for responding:

The project is 30i and I have tried Marquee, but my issue is that it all worked so well on the last project using a name roll. I'd like to figure out exactly why this time it's different than before when pretty much all the variables are identical.

Plus, in Marquee - when I copy/paste the list from the Word doc, it comes in with every name stacked and centered in the frame. It looks like a big jumbled mess and with 200+ names it feels like a daunting task to straighten all of that out.

Thanks, any other ideas?

And, I've done name rolls for this same client on the same system before and they came out great using the Avid Title Tool. I'm just not sure what is different about now.
