Re: [Avid-L2] marquee question

 

could we just say that marquee has room for improvement? that being said, i had to match some type treatments done in after effects and with some kludging it got the job done. and it's roll algorithm (or rightly it's animation algorithm, as what i was doing exceeded the capabilities of the native roll mode) was so much smoother than i've been able to achieve in SD in AE, even with all the timing and interlace reduction trickery. looked great, so i'm glad i dove in.

Otherwise, move through the roll by clicking and dragging left and right in the small timecode window under the right side of the monitor. When done, save to bin - it should then show up as a rolling title in Avid.
