How do I change line spacing etc. in scroll titles/credits?

When I create a static title I can change all kinds of text settings in inspector.
In scroll title these parameters are missing.
How do I change advanced title/text settings (e.g. line spacing) in scroll titles/credits?

Hey Harro,
If the parameters available in the basic Scroll title are insufficient for your needs, you can simply use a static Text (or Text+) title, adjust it as necessary, and then animate the text scroll for yourself ie set a start position keyframe on the first frame and an end position keyframe on the last frame.
Cheers
Andy

Thx.
Seems very uncomfortable though: I have to switch to Fusion to animate and when something changes, I have to adjust the keyframes in Fusion.

Is this really the official way to create credits with e.g. 10 pages of text? Or is there a better way?

Harro, you might have a look at this great new and completely free tool for creating scroll titles and end credits:

If you speak German, there is a thread over at slashcam.de:

Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.
