No 'Roll' Checkbox in Text for Credit Roll?

[VmusicV]

Hi,

  I am using Premiere Pro 2022, and I put a text /essential graphics object on a separate video lane..... but there's no 'Roll' checkbox, to make it into a credit roll.   See the screen snapshot.   There's only a mask text checkbox, but no roll checkbox.

Any ideas?

Thanks

De-highlight the text.

Roll checkbox will appear.

You have to deselect the Text layer in the Essencial graphic panel. after thenn you can see the [Roll] chck box. good luck

Now we do not have Essential Graphics anymore, where is Roll Checkbox for long texts?

In the Properties panel, like all text/graphics editing controls.

That's where I did already look for it,  but cannot find. Hiiden by ?????

@Ruud Scheidel,

The problem is deselecting the text layer so you can see the "Responsive Design - Time" (which has the Roll checkbox) rather than "Responsive Design - Position."

There is a very narrow area just below the text or other layers at the top of the Properties (previously Essential Graphics) panel. If you select one or more of those layers, you won't see the Roll checkbox. See screenshots below from PR 25.2.3.

Or you can click in the timeline to deselect the graphics item, then click it and generally, no layer will be selected.

Thank you for these, about the only place on the internet! After poking through and how difficult this was to find I'm still guessing but theres no native option or workaround for a horizontal ticker crawl...?

@MintFoxMedia,

Correct; crawl was not added. This is the first feature request in my search today. Only 4 votes. Five with my vote added.

And @AnnikaKoenig makes the point that they didn't add it because they didn't think it was used much.

So far, the votes support that decision. Does anyone see a feature request with more votes?

So Annika says it isn't used much ... interesting. I'd certainly use the effect if it was 'there' as a real effect.

I do know that a fair number of users found the manual scroll thing time-consuming and frustrating to get set to the exact speed to avoid jaggies, and went to either a plug-in or built a mogrt type thing of animated sequential fade-in/outs.

I've upvoted things of this in the past, I'll check your posts to make sure I've upvoted those.

Ruud, 

Stan has the good screengrabs. There's some things about the new Properties panel that just aren't that intuitive, like ... needing to click inside that box but not on a layer, to get other things to pop up.

We've had long discussions on that here, and I'm totally disappointed that behavior is still there.
