Pause Rolling Credits

Specific to Premiere Elements version 14

Pause Rolling Credits

Postby Skolly » Tue Mar 29, 2016 5:13 pm

Hi Everyone,
New to the forum and I've looked around and I can not find the answer to the following question for Elements 14
I have a rolling text. Selected from Titles & Text > default roll (from the Classic Titles - General)
I have added my text, and I want it to pause once it rolls to the middle of the frame and hold (not continue up and out of frame) then fade to black.
This should be a lot simpler than it is. I get the feeling I'm missing something major here.
Apologies if this has been answered already
Thanking you in advance,
Matt

Welcome to Muvipix!

One way to do it is to cut it at the desired spot and delete the rest of the title clip.
Then do a frame grab of it and import that to your project as a still.
Add a fade to black transition, or keyframe the opacity, or use a black video clip with the opacity keyframed above it.

You don't have a lot of control if you use a rolling title. The key frames that control the scroll are internal to the title and aren't directly under your control. You can slow down the scrolling by lengthening the title duration or speed it up by shortening the duration. If you cut the title, it will not stop at the cut -- you will create two copies of the title and each will scroll faster the full amount. There are some options that you can use to modify the behavior.

In the Expert view timeline, double-click the title clip to have the Adjust panel change to display the text options. Then, select Text > Roll/Crawl Options, and set the options as desired:

"Start Off Screen" specifies that the roll or crawl begins out of view and moves into view.
"End Off Screen" specifies that the roll or crawl continues until everything scrolls out of view. You'll want this to be unselected.
"Preroll" specifies the number of frames that play before the roll or crawl begins. You'll probably leave this at zero.
"Ease-In" starts the scroll at a lower speed and accelerates to playback speed. The value specifies the number of frames that it will take to reach playback speed. You'll probably want this to be zero.
"Ease-Out" will cause the scroll to slow down at the end. The value specifies the number of frames that the deceleration will occur over. You'll probably want this to remain at zero, but it's up to you.
"Postroll" specifies the number of frames that play after the roll completes. You can use this to extend the time the title will appear after the scroll completes. You'll probably want to use this one if you want to apply a fade out to the title.

If necessary, you can add blank text lines to adjust the position of the text. Click in the Monitor panel outside of the box to save the converted title.

Another approach is to create the title as a photo with transparency in Photoshop Elements. Save it as a png file. Import the photo into your video project and place it on the time line. The default duration for a still is 5 seconds, but you can drag out the clip ends to extend that as desired. To scroll the image, use key frames for the position property at be beginning and end. You have full control over the scrolling. Stop the scroll before the end of the title still and apply a fade out.
