Preroll, Postroll, Ease in, Ease out - where documented?

I have what I think is the latest PDF of the Adobe Premiere Pro User Guide - April 13, 2018.

On page 336 under Create Rolls (for scrolling titles) the screen shot shows Preroll, Postroll, Ease In and Ease Out, but they don't seem to define what these mean.    Does anyone know where Adobe documents stuff like this, and if not does anyone know what they mean?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks; that link is out of date -  it shows dropdown and other UX, and settings that don't seem to exist in the current product, as well as the option to set these parameters in frames -  on the latest version they appear to be in time-units. 

But the descriptions in the text in your link are helpful, so I've reproduced them here incase anyone else is looking . .  .

  • Preroll - How long after the title appears do you want the title to wait before it starts rolling up the screen?

  • Ease-In - How slowly do you want to text to start moving?

  • Ease-Out - Over what time would you like your title to slow down to a complete stop?

  • Postroll - How long do you want this title to stay still for at the end of your title roll?

I don't understand why it would kill Adobe to put this in their user guide.   Thanks again.

The titler is legacy now and is eventual going to disappear.

Several options have already been deleted.

Some general info on interpolation.

Controlling effect changes using keyframe interpolation in Premiere Pro

Edited!


I'll add to what Ann says. She links to help on ease in/ease out, that has been in the pdf reference document for some time, unrelated to titles, in the keyframe interpolation section. The pdf March 2018 (first revision since 2016) still had the legacy titler treatment, and that was replaced April 2018 by the new motion graphics section. With that change, the "ease-in" was deleted. (Note that the titler always had ease in with the hyphen. The keyframe interpolation section does not use the hyphen.)

The section that was deleted had this:

Choose Roll/Crawl timing options

Start Off Screen  Specifies that the roll begins out of view and scrolls into view.

End Off Screen  Specifies that the roll continues until the objects are out of view.

Preroll  Specifies the number of frames that play before the roll begins.

Ease-In  Specifies the number of frames through which the title rolls at a slowly increasing speed

until the title reaches the playback speed.

Ease-Out  Specifies the number of frames through which the title scrolls at a slowly decreasing

speed until the roll completes.

Postroll  Specifies the number of frames that play after the roll completes.

Crawl Left, Crawl Right  Specifies the direction in which the crawl moves.
