Vertical scroll on long image

PPT 2007

I am trying to achieve a credit animation (or similar slow vertical scroll)
on an image that is about five times the screen height. Everything that I
have tried (eg Motion path, crawl in, ascend) does scroll but not for the
whole height of the image - it either crops off the top or bottom as if it
didn't exist. It looks as if these effects have a height limit. Is that
so? Is the a way around it?

TIA
cheers
Chris

You can do what you want with the motion path. Just zoom 10%

Have tried that. It resolutely refuses to move the image more than half of
its length however I position and alter the length of the motion path.

Chris,

I believe one of the ppt mvps has done some testing on this.

From memory, the limit is the screen width, and only ONE more screen width.

I believe the testing was left to right scrolling, but I imagine the same
rule applies for top to bottom images. Can you split you image into smaller
chunks?

Thanks TAJ. What you recolect seems to fit with what I am finding.
Not easy to split but not impossible.
Two things that I am experimenting with are use of (1) Microsoft Forms
Frames with scroll bars or (2) the MoveShape macro.
(1) has it by a short head as (2) tends to be rather jumpy/jerky.
cheers

Try Crawl In (as you have done) but then move the whole image off the top
of the screen. Test it and adjust speed to suit.

Try this:

It has multiple areas of concern, such as portability and such, but if you
control the computer it will be run on, this may be the better solution.

Thanks Brian.
It crops off the top half of the image. Wherever I position the image
vertically, PPT only seems to recognise a maximum length.

Drat!!! That would have suited me just fine Indeed I was thinking of
writing a macro to do just that (although my VBA is very basic anyway!)
But thanks anyway, Bill

At the moment I am using a Microsoft Forms Frame with vertical scroll bars
but that is not ideal although it does work.

cheers
Chris
