Blend Start and Blend End soften the edges of the mask, causing titles to “fade” into and out
of the masked region.

The Reverse Direction checkbox reverses the direction of the roll or crawl, causing tracks to
move from top to bottom instead of bottom to top (text roll) or from left to right instead of
right to left (text crawl).
Position X/Y set the coordinates of the text’s center point. When the Animation Style menu
is set to Roll, keyframes are automatically set for Position Y to move each track up the
screen. Adjust Position X/Y to offset the rolled titles to the left or right. When the Animation
Style menu is set to Crawl, keyframes are automatically set for Position X to move the text
across the screen. Adjust Position X/Y to offset the crawled titles upward or downward.
Opacity adjusts the opacity of the text. At a value of 0, text is completely transparent, and at
a value of 100, text is completely opaque. Intermediate values produce varying degrees of
transparency.
Position Z adjusts the apparent depth of the text.
Tumble, Spin, and Rotate change the text’s perspective along the X, Y, and Z axes
respectively. Tumble, Spin, and Rotate can be animated over values greater than 360° in
order to make the shape complete more than one full revolution.
