I apologize if this is posted somewhere else but I've spent over an hour looking and can not find it.
This should be simple.
I have a text effect in the middle of the frame on the Text 1 Track.  I'd like for the text to move to the upper right corner as the frame plays.

What  am I missing on how to do this?  I'm sure I did it in VW 7  I'm in ver 9 now.
Thanks,
Craig

Easy Media Creator  (EMC 9) or Creator 2009?  Two versions different and a lot of name changes and some process changes.

This is good for Versions EMC 8 through EMC 10;  it is probably also good for Creator 2009.

Thanks for the quick reply...

I'm using EMC 9 and VideoWave 9 I believe that comes with it.
The video was not quite what I am looking for.
I'd like to start the frame 10 sec in length with the text "The Committee" visible in the center of the frame.  Say x pos 0 Y pos -9.  Then I'd like the text to slowly move to another visible position in the frame at say x pos 144 y pos 140 (somewhere in the upper right corner of the frame)  
Can this be done in this version?

Yes, watch the video again and lok for text positioning at the start of the frame and then at the end of the frame.  

I can't do it for you so you have to experiment.

Steve,
I hate to be a pain but the video seems to be for scrolling text from the bottom of the screen.  I've tried positioning the text to start where I want it to but no matter what I do, I can not get it to move from the middle of the screen to another visible area of the screen.  I have tried scrool, fly and every option under each one.  I can not set an end position.
Can you please tell me exactly what to press. Text is just not moving like it did in version 7 where I can set a start position and then an end position.

Thanks,
Craig

Sorry, my reply was less than helpful.  First,  are you using the moving text in an color panel (or image) or in a video?  If a panel, consider using two panels.  One where the text moves up and to the right.  Make the panel just long enough to make it to the position you want.  Next make another panel with the text in the right location.  Use the two in conjunction so that when the first panel stops, the other appears.  You will have to work with overlays and transparency to get it to look right.

There was a discussion and an example that was given at one time; I think by karri, on how to do this.  It was a long time ago.  If you really need this and can't figure it out, you can search through karri's post.  (Somewhere here)  Hopefully you will find it.  Alternately there are some third party software that makes what you want to so easy.

I did a little looking.  Perhaps this one is close to what you are thinking.

Yes, a lot of Good things were lost in EMC 7 when Roxio went to EMC 7.5  Pan and Zoom has never been the same either.

Wow, Steve, you have a good memory! I followed your link and thought oh yea, I had forgotten about that old post. I hope the next VW adds these features back, or something better, to make these kinds of text customizations easier.
