End of rolling text lasts too long

I have a rolling credit sequence in the beginning of a video I'm making, and I need the credits to roll slowly to give time to read all the information. The problem is that after the last line of text has rolled out of view, the blank screen remains there for about 20 seconds. This is obviously too long to have viewers stare at a blank screen but when I try to cut the graphic and make it shorter, it speeds all of the text up so it is too fast to read. Is there anyway to make the rolling title end as soon as the last piece of text is out of view?

Hi Mary,

You can use Creative Cloud to upload the file. You can send me a PM with a link.

Thanks,

Hi Mary -

I took a look at your project, and your problem is that your text box is thousands of pixels longer than the end of your text. Pr uses the text box to determine the end of the roll, not the last visible text. If you shorten the height of the text box to around the end of your roll then you should get the behavior you are looking for.

Hi Kevin!

So nice to hear back so soon.

Attached is a screenshot. I am using 22.4.0 Build 57 and it is up to date.

Some background: The scrolling text is paired with a video and music. It was working perfectly but after I had edited the video and sound I noticed that the scroll was stopping short. I was careful (I think) to lock the scroll so that the edits would not affect it.

This had happened a couple of times before but I could not re-enter the text box in such a way as to readjust the end point of the scroll and I had to begin reconstructing the scroll from scratch.

It is a very long scroll.

Do you think it has something to do with becoming de-linked from the video and audio while I was editing?

Kevin, I should add that the video and audio which you see in the screenshot are refreshed versions. I discard the edited versions so that I could start over with the elements that are easiest to re-do (the scroll takes about 30 minutes to build and I did not want to re-do that AGAIN).

Hi Mary,

Which version of Premiere Pro are you using? Can you show us a screenshot of what's going on with your sequence?.

Thanks,

Kevin, was my screenshot helpful? Do you need more information?

This happens to my credit roll after it has been working perfectly, so at least in my case it is not extra space at the end of the text box. Does anyone know how to fix it without rebuilding the text box from scratch? I do like Richard's workaround, below, but it would be nice to know why this is happening.
