Yes I can set an effect to the end of the animated scrolling text item, however its taking the snapshot that does not appear to work.
I can scroll smoothly backwards and forwards within the text and all behaves as expected. However wherever I stop then right-click over the sequence preview window and choose Take snapshot and then choose the resolution, a blank snapshot is produce. If I edit the text to do "no scroll" the snapshot works ok. It's just when you are "snapping" an animated sequence that the snapshot turns out blank, wherever you try and take one.
Its not that this is a major issue, but I have used snapshot on many occasions and this use with animated text fails to work as expected.
I wanted the text animation to work in full and then to fade the final frame, this I thought is best achieved by snapping the final frame, setting it at the end of the animated object, and then setting a fade out. I have done this successfully with video, so I freeze the final frame of a clip and then position the snapshot at the end of the clip, then set it to fade.
I thought a piece of animated text should behave in the same manner and permit its final frame to be frozen using snapshot and then chewed up in whatever way you fancy, but animated text appears special in some unexpected way. In fact - should it work? or am I trying something that was never going to work?
