Rolling and crawling titles are non-real-time effects. You can step through the effect in a Source
monitor, the Composer monitor, or the Effect Preview monitor, but you must render the effect to play
it.
Rolling titles scroll vertically, moving from top to bottom or from bottom to top.
Left to right: example of start, middle, and end of a bottom-to-top roll.
Crawling titles scroll horizontally, moving from right to left or from left to right.
