Working with Components (Text Crawl, Text Roll and

more Text Animations)

In this Workshop we explain how to create different Text animations (Components).

Text animations are often needed in a project, for instance as a Text Crawl in a Ticker, as Text

Roll at the end of a film, Scripts or just as usual animated Texts. Heroglyph V4 offers a great

number of templates. The use is very simple: Just select a template, enter a Text and choose a

Design. The Text animation is already present in the templates.

1. Choose and edit a Text Crawl template

Start a new project in Heroglyph V4 and open the Insert register. Then click on the Component

option to open the Choose Template dialog. Choose, for instance, the template Text Crawl/8.

and click on Create. Firstly, enter a Text (1.), then set a Style (2.) and determine Text Size

(3.). Choose a Duration (4.) of 10 seconds. An effect (Continuous effect - Text as Crawling text)

is already available in the Preset.
