How to add rolling credits to a video

Step 1. Add the credits roll title to the timeline

Click on the text tab in the toolbar. Scroll through the title options until you see text called credits roll. Click on the plus icon or drag and drop it onto the timeline above your video asset.

To add more lines of text, simply click on the return/enter key on your keyboard. If you position the seeker (the white line bar) in the timeline over the title, you'll see what your credits will look like in the preview window.

Step 3. Customize the appearance of your credits roll text

Personalize your credits by changing the text font, size, color, or add a background color.

Rolling credits tips:

  • To make your credits roll over a video, add a video to the timeline directly below the text.

  • To make your credits appear over a black background, position them over a blank space in the timeline or add a solid color background to the timeline. Read adding black or solid color for more information.

  • If you want to change the speed of your credits roll, click the title asset in the timeline and drag the edge of the title card left to make it faster and right to make it slower.
