How do you add rolling text in Premiere Pro?

Adding rolling text in Adobe Premiere Pro is straightforward, involving keyframes to animate your text's movement. Here's a breakdown of the process:

Steps to Create Rolling Text

Add a Text Layer: Begin by adding a new text layer to your timeline in Premiere Pro. You can do this using the text tool.
Adjust Text Duration: Modify the duration of the text layer to determine how long the scrolling text will be visible on screen.
Initial Positioning: Place your playhead at the very beginning of your timeline. In the preview panel, drag the text box completely off the screen. This action will create your initial keyframe to start the animation.
Keyframe and Animation:
- Move your playhead to the end of your text layer.
- Drag the text box in the preview panel to its ending off-screen position. This will create another keyframe, indicating where the animation should end. The reference indicates you need to drag it off the screen.
Preview: Preview your video to see the text scroll. If the rolling speed isn’t suitable, change the duration of the text layer or adjust the ending position of your text.

Speed Control: Changing the text layer's duration will affect the rolling text speed. A shorter duration will result in faster text rolling and vice-versa.
Consistent Direction: Ensure the text is moving consistently in the desired direction by adjusting the start and end positions.
Easing: You can add easing to your keyframes for a more fluid rolling effect. Right-click on keyframes and select from a range of "ease in" and "ease out" options.
Visibility Considerations: When setting the initial off-screen position, make sure it's completely outside the viewable area. This will prevent the audience from seeing the text before the roll animation begins.
Text Formatting: Remember that the look of your text like font style, color, size can impact readability, so format your text carefully.

By using these steps, you can effectively create smooth rolling text for your Premiere Pro projects.
