I need to make scrolling credits, like most movie do. I know how to enter a text, but how can I make it scroll from the bottom to the top?

thanks

it's nearly this. However

* In have an image (png) of 720 px wide and film 720 pixel wide. In the timeline, the text *is* as large as the image, but on the monitor and on the rendering the text is much smaller in width (see the result http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keefxN8ORqI)

* I would like to have this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qzwrvaQH3s

but it's already good

thanks

well if I open the properties windows, I have the correct width: , but not in the film. i will keep trying (too late today), even if there is a bug somewhere it may be possible to trick (let only give a bigger width)

I don't see any width setup, if the PIP is the french "Déplacement" (localized programs make communication more difficult)

thanks

in fact I think I didn't use the right transition (I use the "deplacement", second from top). The third one, who might be the (english) PIP, I can't make it work, I have ti try again :-(

thanks

Done!

I don't know how to insert an image here, so the link to cjoint below.

I don't have the same kdenlive version as you have (mine is 0.6.0-svn, fromopenSUSE 10.3) and the transition don't ave the same layout!

and the layout is not clean, changes in the transition setup don't show simply in the timeline

The difference is in the "keyframe". One must now create keyframes corresponding to the setup, and this works or don't works, depending of I don't know what. New kdenlive is sometimes extremely slow.

However I achieve to have the good result (almost, scrolls but not like the starwars effet I seeked for).

I had to use two keyframes (one at the beginning, one at the end, of course) with the setup:

beginning : tranparency 0, size 500, H -200, V 110

end : T 0, S 500, H -200, V -500

Processing on Youtube is very long this morning, I will post the video asap

thanks :-)

Well, this may be a question of your PiP settings, as noted above. But apart from that you should always remember that the pixel ratio on a computer screen and a television set is different (a pixel is a square on the computer, whereas it has a rectangular shape on a tv-set). If you want to import an image into a PAL video (720x576px) without distortions, you have to create your png-file with a width of 768 pixels (height is the same, 576px).

One note: it's (was) not obvious (at least for me) than the small square in the center of the grafical transition windows is the video screen...

thanks for the help

It seems to me that composite is the replacement for PIP.

Not sure how you'd use it for credits in this case though...
