Working with Roll project

The Roll project allows you to display text by applying a push up effect and dynamically change the content of text and speed by controlling it from Live Manager program. We will start this example by making a Roll project. From Projects Window select New -> Roll and choose a name for the project.

Now in the Items window there is a 2D Text item that has several lines written as example. The roll effect is already applied for this item but you can change the alignement and x position.

The roll effect can be applied for any other item by checking "Roll" option. You can manage the Roll content by clicking on the LiveManager button.

After saving the project (or executing "Refresh") the Live Manager shows the coresponding columns in the grid, allowing to edit text or to preview and select images.

From the Live Manager application you can control the information that is displayed and allows you edit multiple lines of the content,providing a convenient way to edit the content of the Roll..

The speed of the Roll can be modified directly from the project or from LiveManager. By clicking on a row and select the play button you will send the data to MagicSoft CG to be displayed.
