End credits, card by card.

Cast0:21 / 1:00

Set names and roles on timed cards over your last shot. Each card fades in, drifts up and fades out. Add a score and export the video from Studio. The roll here is for Last Skate, an example short about the last night of an old roller rink.

Plans from $19 a month. Each project's first export is included, with commercial use and no watermark. Studio opens on a tablet or computer.

What goes in end credits,and in what order.

The Last Skate roll as a sheet: each card, why it sits where it does, and its Start and Duration in Studio. Each card gets five seconds, plus half a second for each name past two.

  1. 1Start 1 sDuration 5 s

    Last Skate

    Put the title up while the last shot is still on screen, so the film and its name land together.

  2. 2Start 7 sDuration 5 s

    Written and directed by

    Lena Marsh

    The director comes first. One person wrote and directed, so both jobs share one card.

How to make end credits.Four steps in Studio.

The roll above is one Studio project: nine cards, the last shot, a black solid and a score. Pick a card on the timeline to see its settings.

  1. 1

    Set the canvas and the last shot

    Open a Studio project and set W to 1920 and H to 1080 for a widescreen film. Press R for a solid, make it black and stretch it under the whole roll. Put your last shot above it with an Exit fade, so it goes to black under the second card.

  2. 2

    Make one card per group

    Press T to add text. Each card here is two text layers in Inter: roles small and in Uppercase, names larger. New text starts in lowercase, so click Lowercase again under Text case and names keep the capitals you type.

  3. 3

    Time each card and let it drift

    Type each card's Start and Duration from the sheet above. Under Effects, set Transitions to Both and pick Fade, then set Movement to Pan, direction Down, Intensity 15. The names rise slowly while they are on screen.

  4. 4

    Score it and export

    In the Audio panel, choose Music, pick 60 seconds and describe the mood. Then export MP4 or WebM at 1080p or 4K.

    Eleven Music v2.5, 60 seconds, instrumental

    Unhurried end credits music for a short film about the last night of an old roller rink: warm analog synth pads over a slow, soft disco bass line, a gentle electric piano melody, a faint roller rink organ far in the background, bittersweet and hopeful, around 90 BPM, close and intimate, ending on a held chord that fades out.

Dee, a skater in her twenties, sits on the wall of an empty roller rink at closing time, pulls off her last skate and looks up at the turning mirror ball.

Not every film ends on black.Three more ways to credit.

The same text layers and timing, arranged three other ways. Each one is built from layers you can move and resize in Studio.

  • Dee, a skater in her twenties, sits on the wall of an empty roller rink at closing time, pulls off her last skate and looks up at the turning mirror ball.

    Beside the last shot

    Resize the last shot into the right half of the canvas and run the cards on the left, so the film stays on screen through the names.

  • Cast with a still

    Put each actor's still on its own layer with the same Start and Duration as their name. Viewers match the face to the name.

  • An old roller rink at night with pink neon along its curved roof, a lone skater crossing the wet parking lot toward its lit doors.

    Opening titles

    The same cards work at the start. Place them in the empty sky over the first shot and keep them short: three cards in about ten seconds.

Want one continuous crawl?Paste your names. Download the crawl.

Your names scroll up a black 1080p frame, made in your browser. For an MP4, run the free FFmpeg command below. Drop either video into Studio after your last shot to add the score.

One line per role or name, with an empty line between groups. For two columns, put two spaces between a role and a name.

2. Pick a look and download

Same size, spacing, speed and length as the command below.

1920 x 1080 at 30 fps, 32 seconds. It records in real time in this tab, and nothing is uploaded.

3. For an MP4, run this in the folder with credits.txt

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=c=black:s=1920x1080:d=32 -vf "drawtext=textfile=credits.txt:fontsize=48:fontcolor=white:line_spacing=24:text_align=C:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=h-t*80" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p credits.mp4

FFmpeg draws the Sans look in its default font. d=32 is the length in seconds: it follows your list, like the WebM, so the last name clears the top. 80 is the speed in pixels a second. If FFmpeg says "Filter not found", install a full build: drawtext needs libfreetype and libharfbuzz.

  • The FFmpeg crawl at 4 seconds: LAST SKATE entering from the bottom of a black frame.

    FFmpeg output at 4 s

  • The crawl at 10 seconds: the title, director and producers moving up the frame.

    FFmpeg output at 10 s

  • The crawl at 16 seconds: producers and cast near the top as the music credit comes in.

Text, timing and effects use no credits. Each project's first export is free. After that an export costs 10 credits, so the $19 Creator plan covers 50 a month.
