I made an addon wich allows multilines, scrolling and fade in and out on a text effect. See the source joined. It has been tested on Ubuntu studio 16.04 64 bits and Blender 2.78.

seq_plus_titles10.py

You have to modify the space_sequencer.py in .../blender-2.78-linux-glibc211-x86_64/2.78/scripts/startup/bl_ui/ as indicated in the file (copy lines 47 to 58, 400 to 402 and 406 to 426). Suppress the first # of every line. First save the original space_sequencer.py as space_sequencer.py.orig.

The abilities of this addon are :

New menu Titles :

still title, title scrolling horizontally, title scrolling vertically up to down, title on several lines scrolling vertically down to up and date of the file.

When thestrip of the text effect is selected, the properties panel shows several new buttons :

"Move title - time cursor at strip start" ; by clicking on this button, the text of the strip is moved in the viewer by moving the mouse until you click on the mouse button. You can position the text easily. The time cursor go to the start of the strip so you can test immediatly your title.

2.** "Move title" **is the same except the time cursor doesn't move.

3.The two buttons **"Define start parameters"and"Define end parameters" **are used to set the size and the position of the text. First, position the text with the "Move title" button and set the size with the size cursor. Then click on "Define start parameters". Do it again for the end settings and click on "Define end parameters".

4.The buttons of the modify text section :
by clicking on "Modify title", you transfer the property ' text' inside a text block of the text editor, named "Credits". So you can modify the text as you want, even with several lines. Transfer the modified text in the property text by clicking on "Paste title" or "Paste center".

You can adjust the movement of the text with the graph editor.
You cannot modify the police. You cannot have several police sizes.
