    Anyone ever have make text that constantly scrolls like movie credits? It always seemd to be really jittery and hard to read. It hurts my eyes.

    Anyone know how to fix that? I tried everything I can think of.

    have you tried to use a simple motion tween. Create a keyframe and add the text you want to scroll. Now position that frame so that the last sentence of the text box is at the top of the screen. Then insert a new keyframe at frame 50 or so...this will duplicate the frame that you just made. If you click on the new keyframe, it will select the text. Now hold shift and the down button until the first line of text in the text box is at the bottom of the screen. Now click on your first keyframe again and insert a motion tween. Now that'll scroll the text but to get the best affect you should apply a mask over this layer.
