Text source with text outside of bounds + scroll filter

[Destroy666]

I'm trying to create a sort of news ticker with too long text scrolling within bounds of a text source with defined constant width and height and no wrapping.

However, the scroll doesn't achieve anything - it just scrolls the part of text that managed to fit and the rest is cut off. Is this intended? Is there any way around it?

i think a video filter/source plugin can achieve this
it would take a "long" (wide) vid/img source as input and allow the user to resize the output
then internally it would "marquee" (a la https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/marquee) and run the text side-to-side or up-down animated
could be possible to implement...

Thanks, not entirely sure what you mean here though, I'm looking for a one-line ticker and playing around with width unfortunately doesn't achieve much, it just makes the element wider and I need a specific width to stay between 2 elements.

A solution could be hiding the rest behind these 2 elements, but in my case 1 is transparent and 1 can sometimes disappear. And the length of text can exceed the legth of screen/working area as well.

I think the problem lies in the filters not applying to not drawn parts of a source. Maybe there's some way of creating the animation first, then shrinking the element by "cutting" it or rather drawing only pixels between the elements. This should be 99% possible with obs-shaderfilter, I think I'll have to create a new shader though.

If text is read from file and needs to have no scroll animation when it is shorter than some length (let's say less than 10 symbols) then next solution may apply (script to Advanced Scene Switcher plugin):

Make text scroll after reaching a certain length?

Heya, so basically I have a text which reads from a changing file, so far I've used the Bounding Box option in the Transform settings, however if it gets really long the Text gets so small that it looks silly. So my idea would've been to just make it scroll after hitting a certin length /...

If only scroll needed, just use "Limit Width" checkbox from the "Scroll" filter (screenshot was posted few posts above).

Did you try the "Scroll" effect filter? It should be able to do what you're looking for
You can limit the width and then the rest is hidden and you can set the scroll animation

That was helpful, even though I'm not really looking for dynamic scroll enable, thanks.

It made me realize that you just can't set the constant width/height on the text if you want for this to work. Which I want also for padding, but I guess working around that will be easier than working around cut out scroll.
