I'm using 365 and trying to do a credits scroll, but I need the text to appear about 1 inch above the bottom edge of the screen, and disappear 1 inch from the top of the screen.

I thought I might be able to do this with a mask somehow, but I can't seem to figure out how. The only hack I could find was to produce your text first in a video, and then add that video to another video, which is pretty bogus and won't work for me.

Track layers are:

Image #1

Image #2 overlay at the top (a fancy title image)

Credits Scroll Text - I need this to scroll on screen and disappear before going under the title Image #2

You can try using the new title reveal mask for this. Once you enable, you just resize the mask for your text to the size you need. See attached image. Sounds like what you need.

Oh man, thanks so much Ash! I've been searching for an answer to this question for two days!
