Creating a Roll
A roll typically contains the titles or credits of a program. You can create a traditional roll in
which a title moves from the bottom of the screen to the top. A roll moves all of the tracks in
the title container up the screen in the order they appear in the container.
To create a roll:
1. Create the text to roll in a Title Container—see “Creating Text Animation” on page 422.
2. Select the Maintain Speed option to manually adjust the speed of the tracks.

Otherwise, Avid FX adjusts the Speed to fit the number of tracks in the title container and the
duration of the effect when Animation Style is set to Roll.
3. Adjust the Position X to offset the rolled titles to the left or right.
The roll sets keyframes for Position Y in the timeline to move each track across the
screen.
4. Adjust the Mask Top to set the distance of the mask at the top edge of the frame that
hides the text as it rolls.
5. Adjust the Mask Bottom to set the distance of the mask at the bottom edge of the frame
that hides the text as it rolls.
6. Adjust the Blend Top to soften the edges of the mask allowing the titles to fade out, in
the masked region.
7. Adjust the Blend Bottom to soften the edges of the mask allowing the titles to fade in, in
the masked region.
8. To reverse direction of the roll, select the Reverse Direction option.

You cannot animate the Speed, Mask, and Blend settings and they do not have corresponding
tracks in the timeline.
