hello , i need to put the easiest text with my footage. Actually it is just a guide for the text that will be later read. So i don't need it to have in synch, but better if i can just write part for part, and the text would scroll itslef fo that part. What i mean, if i have a period of 30 seconds, with may be 8 clip, i want to create only 1 text that ill cover the whole part, with the tect scrolling itself fot that part fron start to end of those 30 seconds

Thanks!

I'm not convinced we understand what you want.

 

My guess: like a teleprompter: after the editing is done, the words will scroll across the screen and a person will read them out loud. To be recorded like a voice over?

@Ishan Y's suggestion above is one method:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/what-text-tool/m-p/13153234#M426965

 

Except that in that method, I only see how to make the text roll (as with ending credits, the text moves from bottom to top); not crawl (where it moves from right to left).

 

In any event, you create your text and paste as one long row. (It will be wider than the screen.) Then animate the position so it moves from the right side to the left. The text will move faster/slower depending on how many characters over the duration for that text group.

 

Tutorial on that anyone?

Sounds like you want to superimpose chapter titles over entire chapter segments.

 

For the example that you give where you have 8 chapter segments, locate "Basic Lower Third" in the Essential Graphics panel.

 

Drag and drop "Basic Lower Third" to a Video Track above the footage for where each chapter segment starts, one time for each chapter.  Extend the clip boundary for each of the resulting Graphics in the Timeline such that it extends for the entire chapter segment and then edit the text as needed to correspond to the chapter.

If you mean, someone will be editing by the comments said in the video ... then dropping the clips one at a time onto a blank timeline, and using the Create Transcription process works well.

 

You can export a text file with timestamps for the clip, and someone can simply read that text file, mark the segments they want, and give it back.

 

The editor can then go to each clip and grab the correct parts.

 

And just leave the captions track blank (unused) so they don't show.

Hey stefanocps,

 

Do you want to add Captions or Titles to your sequence? I have attached links to tutorials that might be helpful.

i don't know if caption or titles. I just need to have the text scrolling for a future reference. Someone will read this text and the text will go away. For now i need it just to have some referals..Take it like if it is the script written on the screen. I have used title and captions but i don t get the automatic scroll with them. I need to make a part of caption or title for each part of text. i woul dlike to make a unique part with all the text i need inside, and this text should scroll automatically. hope i am clear enough
