Rolls and crawls
Although static titles, graphics, and images may suffice for some projects, others require titles that move across the
screen. (Titles that move vertically are called rolls. Titles that move horizontally are called crawls.) With Adobe
Premiere Elements, you can easily create smooth, expert rolls and crawls. You can also make a title move along a
custom path by keyframing locations for it at several points.
To add roll or crawl options to selected text, select Title > Roll/Crawl Options in the menu bar (Figure 20).
Note: The length of the title in the Timeline determines the speed of the roll or crawl. The more you increase the
length of the title clip, the slower the movement will be.

Roll and crawl options
You can set the following options for rolls and crawls:
Start Off Screen: Specifies that the roll or crawl begins out of view and moves into view.
End Off Screen: Specifies that the roll or crawl continues until the objects are out of view.
Preroll: Specifies the number of frames that play before the roll or crawl begins.
Ease-In: Specifies the number of frames where the title rolls or crawls at a slowly increasing speed until it reaches
the playback speed.
Ease-Out: Specifies the number of frames where the title rolls or crawls at a slowly decreasing speed until the roll or
crawl completes.
Postroll: Specifies the number of frames that play after the roll or crawl completes.
Crawl Left, Crawl Right: Specify the direction in which a crawl moves.
