I have a poem to a picture and the wording is only playing through quarters of the way through the picture and I dont know how to get it playing at the beginning. Can anyone help please
Without more information, my guess is that the height of the photo/picture is higher than the height of the video. So one way is to slowly scroll the photo up while playing. Use keyframes to control the movements sliding up. You may try to find one of the preset movement Effects under the Effect>Move panel.
Do you understand how the Titles work? Please supply screen shots of the timeline with descriptions. It sounds to me like you are not extending the title objects out to the length that you need.
