Applying the Scrolling Text behavior to an imported RTF file can cause the text to shift out of alignment. Here's how to fix it.

  • email me markspencer -at- mac -dot- com

  • Great Tutorial, thanks for the margin tips very helpful.... Question.. I've been wanting to use this technique for an EPK where the biography of amn artist scrolls up but can't get it right, when I import the video using the automatic speed it scrolls up really fast when when I use fixed or custom trying to slow down the whole paragraph don't scroll up all the way to the top of the margin and dissapear. I spent hours trying different setting but nothing. I was wondering if you can help me out.

  • You just need to extend the duration of both the text layer and the scrolling text behavior in the miniTimeline or the Timeline - if your project isn't long enough, you can make it longer by entering a new duration in duration field at the bottom right of the Canvas.
