I am making a slideshow at 1920x1080. I want to scroll my ending credits upwards within a defined area on the background frame. I tried the motion effects for the Title text for this "Slide" and can get it to scroll upwards but there appears to be no options for setting the upper and lower vertical limits through which the text may scroll.

At present it scrolls through the entire vertical area over the background frame.

I have decorative borders at the top and bottom of the background frame and I do not want the text to scroll through them. Also there appears to be no way of setting the scroll speed. I think the Text motion feature is very underpowered here and needs to be featured up in a major way.

Is there a workaround in the mean time?

You can use masks to determine a restricted area to display the text.

To control the movement work on text length, longer rolls more slowly.

It is not very easy, but it can be done, I have attached a project just to have an idea.

If serve, will need to create the mask (PNG image)If you are interested we can give more detail how to do

OK, thanks, I see now how you have done it. When I first encountered the problem, I immediately thought of masks but thought that that feature should be built right into the properties of the scrolling title box to begin with. Having to add a seconary image overlaid over the text to mask it seems very cumbersome, especially as I have colour gradients in my background image which must be exactly matched in my masking layer.

I shall submit a feature request ticket to Cyberlink about this.
