manually for each row of text. Note that these are all centered by default.

function VScrollTitle( clip Clop, \
int StartFrame, \
string Title, \
string Font, \
int FontSize, \
int Colour, \
int Time ) {

ef = StartFrame + int( Time * Clop.FrameRate )
return Animate( Clop, StartFrame, ef, "subtitle",\
Title, Clop.width/2, int(Clop.Height*1.2), StartFrame, ef, Font, FontSize, Colour, 0, 5, 0,\
Title, Clop.width/2, 0, StartFrame, ef, Font, FontSize, Colour, 0, 5, 0)
}

Example application. This was written for a 25fps avi - start frames may need to be adjusted for another frame rate, but the scroll time will stay at 5 seconds.

clip = AVISource("blah.avi")
sf = 50
clip = clip.VScrollTitle( sf, "The End", "Uncial", 48, $ffffff, 5 )
clip = clip.VScrollTitle( sf+15, "Directed by", "Arial", 14, $ffffff, 5 )
clip = clip.VScrollTitle( sf+24, "nkotb", "Arial", 24, $ffffff, 5 )
clip = clip.VScrollTitle( sf+40, "Produced by", "Arial", 14, $ffffff, 5 )
clip = clip.VScrollTitle( sf+49, "nkotb", "Arial", 24, $ffffff, 5 )
return clip

If you change the font / size the start frames will need tweaking.
