Or redesign the ticker a little ( for example TickerHD.xaml)

Change the
- background Rectangle width and margin
- Change the Canvas position and size and to include a clipping mask
- Change the Textblock position within the canvas

Code:
<UserControl x:Class="TickerHD"
             xmlns:my="clr-namespace:vMixTitleLibrary;assembly=vMixTitleLibrary"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
             mc:Ignorable="d" Width="1920" Height="1080">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <my:DoubleReverseConverter x:Key="DoubleReverseConverter"></my:DoubleReverseConverter>
        <Storyboard RepeatBehavior="Forever" x:Key="tickerStoryboard">
            <DoubleAnimation
                                                                    Storyboard.TargetName="AnimatedTicker"
                                                                    Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.X)"
                                                                    From="1920" To="{Binding ElementName=AnimatedTicker, Path=ActualWidth, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource DoubleReverseConverter}}" 
                                                                    AutoReverse="False" RepeatBehavior="Forever" Duration="0:0:20" />

                </LinearGradientBrush>

Thank you for the response. The both solutions are not good enough. They cut the screen window, but the text is still rolls from edge to edge.
I will explain. I use a short text, a sentence, and I hope that when it reaches the end, it will immediately begin again. Currently, must wait until the text reaches the end of the screen.
Here an example with doggy’s code with shot text:

Thank you for the answer.
Possible that this is a solution but I don't know how to use it in vMix xaml :( I tried but without result. Only errors :P I just don't understanding WPF .NET.

if it is a short text , maybe you can copy it lets say 10 times in one sentence, than you have only a short pauze after it passes 10 times

Err,
I think a good solution would be to create a SWF file that has the ticker you want. Then add the SWF file as an input overlay. I am not a Flash (SWF) guru. I tried this software http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-news-ticker.htm and it created the ticker exactly like you wanted, but the SWF file would not play in vMix. Maybe someone with SWF knowledge can let us know why this won't play in vMix. I am using 15.058.

Err,
I did more testing and tried some other flash "scrolling text" generators. What I found was that vMix did not handle the flash the same way that the web browser did. In almost all cases, if a solid color was specified for the background it was not visible. If an image was used it was fine. So the sample that I attached was not visible in vMix because the background color was not visible. On another one I created the background color was visible (red) but the text was transparent even though the text is black when viewed in a browser. So it would appear that Flash (SWF) will not be a good solution here unless someone can post how to correct these behaviors.
