Is it possible to have scrolling text as a portion of the
movie? I know how to add credits, titles etc. but these
features limit the amount of characters one can use. The
text I want to enter is aproximately 3 paragraphs long.

Any suggestions?
 
The limits differ with each animation effect. Make the first one the way you
want it, and then copy/paste it - and edit the text in it so it follows the
first one. You can do what you want with multiple text clips that follow or
overlap each other if the text doesn't all fit into one of them.

Thanks, PapaJohn. Interestingly enought, I've found that
end credits, beginning credits etc. can be added anywhere
within the movie which provide for scrolling text. I'm
fooling around with it now.

As always, thanks for the help. I, for one, don't know
how I could get through this without your help.

If you're interested, I'll send ya' a copy of the movie
when I'm done.
 
Yes, I always enjoy seeing the results - that's what this is all about,
making movies.

I prefer to think of all the text choices as 'text effects' and don't care
to categorize them into titles, credits, etc. - for the reason you say.
