Is there a way to have a bar of left-right scrolling text along the top
or bottom of a video clip, running simultaneously while the video
plays?

The effect I'm looking for would be similar to the line of stock prices
that scrolls along the upper margin of the evening news on TV, but in
this case I want to scroll contact information (company name, web
address, phone numbers) repeatedly while a 5-minute promotional video
runs.

thanks,

Martin

the Ticker Tape text animation option does that

I looked at using that, but there seems to be no way to put the banner
at the top or bottom of the page. On my computer, it just anchors
itself about one-third of the way up from the bottom, interfering with
the video image.

Can you relocate the banner to the top or bottom?
