Format your credits by adjusting the font color, size, style, etc. Tap on the Text button and enter your credits, then tap Done.Ĥ. Choose one of the millions of background images on one of the tabs (or even upload your own).ģ. Scrolling or fixed Credits, Text & Titlesġ. Now we can go ahead and import this into iMovie and add it as credits at the end of our project.Now you can add scrolling credits to your iMovie videos! The must-have companion for iMovie! Choose from several backgrounds, then add text, titles and scrolling credits to the background to then save and import into your iMovie videos. Now we'll open it up and you can see it starts blank and as we play it it's going to scroll the credits up the screen. Even though you needed to click in order to go and start the animation in Keynote you don't have to do that here for the export because we set the export up to be self playing.
SCROLLING TEXT IN SIGNAGESTUDIO FOR MAC MOVIE
Once it's all done exporting we'll have that 1080 movie that includes that. We'll do higher resolution and we'll make it Self Playing. So we do Export To and we'll do it to a movie. Now that we have this here we can export. But with a list of names and some shapes it's quick and easy. You can really build anything you want and have it scroll up. So this is much better than what you get just in plain iMovie. Now when we Preview it, let's do 20 seconds, we can see it's going to scroll up, oh we forgot to change to no acceleration, so now we'll scroll up and it will have those little objects there as well. So we'll do 592 and then we'll do the negative 3000 again which still should be good. We can once again check this to see where it's at. Now we can bring it back down to the middle there like we had before. Because we're going to do Command A to select all and then we're going to group them together. It can be a lot more than just one field. You can have things next to each one of these people or something like that. You can add real images, you can add your own drawings, you can add anything you want. You know so you can continue to add those. The idea could be to put them next to people's name or just be something just to color it up a bit. We can do Command A to select all and scroll everything up. So, for instance, we can add a cute little hat here to the side. Now what if we wanted to add cute little images like you see a lot in credits. We can use that certainly right there as our credits.īut we can do even better. So let's set it to None so it moves at a constant rate. But notice it's kind of speeding up as it goes because the Default Acceleration is Ease In or Ease Out or Ease Both. So I'll slow it down to 30 seconds and I can do a Preview here and you can see now it's a little too slow. So now when I Preview it you can see how quickly it scrolls from not even appearing, through the screen, and then out the top. If I do negative 2000 you can see it does indeed move up but not quite enough. Then I'm going to have this (y) be something negative so it moves all the way up. So I want to set the x position to be the same 705 that we had before. Now the Move effect we want it to go and reposition vertically. So let's switch to animate and under Action we'll Add an Effect. You can see it 705 is the x position and 1080 is the y position all the way down below the bottom of the screen. I want to check in the Format sidebar under Arrange and see where it is positioned.

So we can have it start here at the bottom. Now the idea is that we want it to scroll up the screen. Use the sidebar here and increase the font size. So maybe we want it to be a little bigger. Let's say this is going to be our scrolling credits here. In this text box I'm going to insert, I'm just going to paste a list of fifty names randomly generated. Get rid of the text that's here and create a new text box. Let's shrink down this so we can see what's going on here. So let's go, in Keynote, and create a widescreen presentation because the video is probably going to be widescreen. However you could do it pretty easily in Keynote. But if you want something a little more complex you probably need a piece of animation or graphic software. You can use that in end credits for a project.
