I have a scroller text to add in a video.
I have add in blufftitler a scroller layer, but the text is too long and about at half of my text
the scroller cut the text.
is there another way to proceed ?
for example, read the text from a file?
last year I had to make two scroller texts and then merge them with an editing software.
Have you set the second style box on "filled"?
If so you can adjust the width of the text in the Layer properties box by enlarging the "Width" property

Thanks Filip,
I explained bad the problem, it is a problem of the maximum amount of characters you can write. There are 866 characters on the line of text, while my text is 2283 characters long.
I don't understand how the crawl starts at the begin of the animation, it's is always on the move.
I solved using 3 text layers and when it finishes one starts the next one...but there are problems with different sliding speeds !

When you attach your 3 text layers to a container layer and only move the container layer (with its POSITION property) they will all have the exact same scroll speed.
The maximum number of characters in the text and scroller layers is 1000.
I advise you to be careful with long scrollers. With a normal font size and scroll speed it takes about 2 minutes to read all 1000 characters. Not many people will watch a scroller for 2 minutes.

Hi Michiel,
Thanks.
I had not thought about the container!
I know it is really boring to read a scroll that runs and ruins all the images. Unfortunately, they are names of companies participating in an event and the video runs continuously in a closed circuit TV

Why not make it DYNAMIC?
In the installer shows are examples even one with pictures, these picture could be the sponsor logos.
Just make the animation of the text with a flexibility setting nice and small like the scroller and the logos with bounds setting (F2) with fade move in out.
Just an idea.

Thanks komies,
but the text is sliding over a video and the companies are really so many, the quickest thing was that of sliding writing if I do get it in other ways it takes too long. The video is much less than written.
