Final Rolling Credit advice

Just looking for some help/advice with producing a ‘Final rolling Credit’ in MEP (18.0.3.261)

Probably with fewer credits required I normally do not have a problem and just utilise one of the Magix templates. In my current project I am using a music compilation from six songs and so would like to end my Movie Project with a rolling Soundtrack list showing the songs used.

So far my attempts and using a Template has failed. Example attached. Obviously it seems, what line text is added within the Template depends on the final font size outcome and the ability to make one line larger or even a different colour is not possible. So even if I was able to overcome these issues, how can one then lengthen the list format to be able to list all six songs?

The previous is obviously my main issues but because this is an area I am currently focusing on, can one make that working area, top right in the screenshot, larger.

Would appreciate any suggestions.

George

Hi George,

To modify the font, colour, size of parts of a text object, you have to do it in the Preview monitor, not the Media pool interface.

Open the text object in the Preview monitor, highlight the text that you want to change, now change the parameters in the right hand Media Pool text interface without touching the paragraph box in the Media Pool interface.

You can add in lines by highlighting them in the Preview Monitor, Ctrl+C, move the cursor to where you want to insert, Ctrl+V to paste. What is pasted will have the parameters of the source.

Again, do not touch the paragraph box in the Media Pool. And, no, you can't make the Title box in the Media Pool larger.

Hi George

To add to John CB's comment - see this short video clip here - although it refers to VPX it is the same for MEP
