Hello

I'm looking for a filter that would scroll a text during a video playback. Yep, kinda like in the Star Wars opening (even if I don't need the thing to reduce upper words with a perspective effect).
I have browsed the classical VDub filter sites without finding anything and I pray somebody here will have such a filter...

"... You are my only hope, general Kenobi"

Thanks anyway

I posted this in another thread here a few days ago:

You could use AVISynth to add text to your clip. A sample script on how to make a text scroll from one side to the other would look like this (assuming a clip called MyMovie.avi exisist in the c:\ dir and has a larger size than 352x240):

AviSource("c:\MyMovie.avi")
Animate(0,200,"subtitle", "Hello World!",351,200,0,0,"Arial",10,$FF0000,$00FF00, "Hello World!",0,200,200,200,"Arial",10,$FF0000,$00FF00)
The two filters you need is Subtitle (for displaying the text) and Animate (for making it move from one place to another)
Read the AviSynth documentation (and dl the program) from VideoTools (http://www.videotools.net). Of course you can also find a lot of useful information at your favourite videosite Doom9.

Try VirtualDub Subtitler filter available on www.virtualdub.org .
Go thru the instructions that come with the filter. You can create subtitles that scroll vertically or horizontally.
