Re: [Avid-L2] Rolling credits with Marquee or something else?

That's true, but changing the preference will only affect new documents - any documents previously saved (or supplied) as rich text, will still open as rich text. In which case, you would need to go to the Format menu and select, "Make Plain Text."

Anybody fought with the NewBlueFX Titler bundled with MC 7-8?
