Help with scrolling credits

[Guest]

This is the first time using WMM2 and after getting my video imported I
decided to make some credits but soon reliazed a draw back. The credit
animation I want to use is the Scroll, Up Stacked. What I am needing to do
is get a list of people who are all in one group listed in the credits but
when I enter in the text there is a large gap between the members names. Let
me give you a example.

I want to add a group named Committe Members and have 7 different names
listed. The credit title page where you can enter in the information is
layed out like a spread sheet with two columns. I entered in "Committe
Members" on the left hand column and on the right side column I entered in
the first member (John for this example.) I then entered the second member
on the line below John (row 2 right side column) and lets use Mary for this
one. The result looks like this

Committe Members
John




Mary


But what I want it to do is look like this

Committe Members
John
Mary


I can't seem to figure out how to do this or if it is even a option. I have
tried to do a CTRL-Enter as in most cases this lets you enter a line break
when enter is mapped do a different function but this does nothing.

Hello,

The text options are very rigid in that specialization is not permitted beyond
colour/size/font/justification.

A better approach may be to use your favorite image editor and create a picture
that has exactly the same number of pixels as your target video file....so
assuming you have a 4:3 and NTSC you would be looking at 720 x 480 pixels....

Then add text to the image in the desired locations....

Doing it this way will avoid the very bad re-sampling abilities of Movie Maker
and should result in nice crisp letters and of course with the layout of your
choice. You can then use a fade in and out option replacing each text screen
with the next, or any other transition. The duration of course is controlled by
dragging the left hand side of the image along the timeline until you achieve
the duration required.
