Why does horizontal movement no longer exist in essential graphics? But only the vertical one

Hi @NICOLE253348541y75,

Thanks for the response. You could manually do a crawl in Premiere Pro. Have you tried it? Let me know if you need any tips on doing that. Sorry for the frustration on this one.

Take Care,
Kevin

Are you doing crawls or rolls?

After you learn the rolls process in the EGP, I know quite a few b-cast folks have found it very usable.

The horizontal crawl ... having to set it manually ... not so much.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

hi, I edit 3 TV programs a week with very tight deadlines. The end credits with the old versions of Premiere Pro were done very quickly, now I have to use After Effects or Photoshop, significantly extending post-production times. Usually the credits are 3568 characters, think about it.

Thanks for popping in, Annika!

This is one of those things that doesn't necessarily have a "huge" normal base, but for some very pro workflows, is a daily "thing" needing doing. I've even seen it used for language translation purposes, additional to captioning.

We never added crawl for Essential graphics because we concluded it was very rarely used feature. But I am curious how many votes this gets!

Hi @NICOLE253348541y75,

I moved this post to the Ideas forum for feature requests. I hope that is OK. I upvoted.

Thanks,
Kevin

Ann's right. And of course, like many, I don't understand why this wasn't created. But you can do it manually, and after a couple times, decently quickly.

But yea, I'd upvote a crawl Idea post ...

yes I am with photoshop, but if I have many titles it becomes a huge file, now I use after effect, but it is a long process. I edit programs for TV, crawll with premiere would be faster.

Hey, we'd all love a "natural" crawl in Premiere ... !

I know of folks who create all their text for the crawl, then paste it into some basic text editor and strip out all character returns. Then click on the Program monitor in Pr, to create a "point text" location, then paste their stripped text on that.

Start it off-screen to the right, and after figuring out how long it needs to go, move to there, and set the motion to off-screen to the left.

It's doable, but yea, it's extra work.

@Annika Koenig ... another user who'd love themselves a crawl ... 😉
