I've been trying to get the credits to go up slowly at the end of the movie I made, and I've tried the different options described in Steve's Muvipix.com Guide to Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 7, but nothing has worked.
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? It seems like it should be a really easy thing to do.

Thanks,
Johnny

Hi Johnny,
You only need to extend the duration of the title.
Just grab the end of the title clip and drag it to the right.
The longer the title is on the timeline the slower it will go.

There are some tutorials on Rolling and Crawling titles but they require a subscription

Hi, Chuck

That's what I've been doing, but it just slows down the time after the credits go scrolling by really fast. As far as I've tried to stretch it, it hasn't slowed down the scrolling at all.

Did you create a scrolling title or did you keyframe a title to scroll, those are two different things.
When you create a title you have the option to make it a scrolling title, then it will scroll without the need for keyframing any motion.

I don't think I understand the difference. However, I am getting the credits to scroll; it's just that I can't slow down the scrolling.

When you created the title did you select the Scrolling option?
Or did you keyframe the movement up or down the screen?
There is a big difference between the two.

If you select the scrolling option when you create the title, in the Premiere Elements Titler, all you have to do is extend the length of the title to make it slow down, shorten the length to speed up.

If you did not create the title in the Premiere Elements Titler then that is a different issue.

How did you create your title, Johnny? Did you make a still photo with multiple lines of text in photoshop elements? Or, did you create a title with multiple lines of text in the premiere elements titler? How did you get it to scroll? Do you have more than one title at the end of the timeline? The better you can describe this, the easier it will be to help you.

Here are some screen shots that show the Roll / Crawl options.

When you create a rolling title to start with you will get the following and you only need to replace the default text in the title with your own text.

I created a "Black Video" clip in Premiere Elements. On it I typed the screen credits that I want to use. Then I selected the Scrolling option and tried different numbers for the Timing section to see if they would affect the speed that the credits would scoll.
In looking at what Chuck posted, it looks different than what I tried to do. I'm feeling pretty lost here about what I've come up with to get credits to roll.

Rather than clicking the "T" on the monitor panel to go into the Titler, go to the Edit tab and click Titles. As I show you in my book, this takes you to the title templates area before you go to the Titler. What Chuck posted above is a rolling title from these templates.

What start from scratch when you don't have to?

Thanks for that tip, Steve! I don't know how I had gotten it to be so much more complicated than it needs to be, but I've finally gotten it just right after trying what you mentioned.
Once I saw what Chuck posted I knew that I was doing something wrong (or a lot more difficult than it needs to be).

Well, helping people get their tasks from complicated to simple is what we always try to do here, Johnny!
