WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.303 --> 00:00:03.266 How do we create scrolling 2 00:00:03.266 --> 00:00:06.776 titles for the end of a film perhaps? 3 00:00:06.776 --> 00:00:09.266 Click the New Item button, 4 00:00:09.266 --> 00:00:11.266 choose Title, rename it. 5 00:00:12.762 --> 00:00:15.769 I'll call this End Credits. 6 00:00:15.769 --> 00:00:19.269 Click OK, and then from this menu up here, 7 00:00:20.860 --> 00:00:23.461 the roll crawl options, click that, 8 00:00:23.461 --> 00:00:26.244 and choose roll which will have 9 00:00:26.244 --> 00:00:28.894 the rolling credits from bottom to the top 10 00:00:28.894 --> 00:00:30.886 or crawl left or crawl right 11 00:00:30.886 --> 00:00:34.615 which we'll roll them from the left or the right 12 00:00:34.615 --> 00:00:37.297 or going to the left or to the right. 13 00:00:37.297 --> 00:00:40.714 Then, there's this start offscreen option 14 00:00:41.816 --> 00:00:43.230 which is good. 15 00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.018 Let me just leave those unchecked, 16 00:00:45.018 --> 00:00:47.810 and then I'll show you what that does. 17 00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:49.598 Then all we have to do is 18 00:00:49.598 --> 00:00:52.158 with the type tool or with the area type tool 19 00:00:52.158 --> 00:00:53.998 which might be better for this, 20 00:00:53.998 --> 00:00:58.081 is create basically a text box where you want it. 21 00:01:00.012 --> 00:01:01.726 We can centre our text. 22 00:01:01.726 --> 00:01:03.901 We can change the size of our text. 23 00:01:03.901 --> 00:01:06.665 We can choose a more clean text. 24 00:01:06.665 --> 00:01:08.082 I like Helvetica, 25 00:01:08.972 --> 00:01:10.566 and then we can type in our credits. 26 00:01:10.566 --> 00:01:13.899 So, we'll see, say a film by Phil Ebiner 27 00:01:17.301 --> 00:01:19.468 starring Anthony Carbajal. 28 00:01:23.242 --> 00:01:24.889 And you can see what happens is that 29 00:01:24.889 --> 00:01:26.059 our text starts to disappear 30 00:01:26.059 --> 00:01:28.694 'cause our text block isn't big enough. 31 00:01:28.694 --> 00:01:30.868 So let's expand that, 32 00:01:30.868 --> 00:01:32.737 and what happens when I expand that? 33 00:01:32.737 --> 00:01:36.720 We have the scroll bar on the right hand side 34 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:37.968 which allows us to scroll through 35 00:01:37.968 --> 00:01:40.426 our text to see what it looks like. 36 00:01:40.426 --> 00:01:43.009 Then say we had cinematography, 37 00:01:45.651 --> 00:01:48.983 and I would write down my cinematographers. 38 00:01:48.983 --> 00:01:52.150 Will Carnahan, Sam Shimizu-Jones, etc. 39 00:01:54.045 --> 00:01:55.359 You know I could go through everything. 40 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.359 Music by Nick Benavides. 41 00:02:01.026 --> 00:02:03.559 And if we scroll down, we have to extend 42 00:02:03.559 --> 00:02:06.654 this a little bit longer, okay? 43 00:02:06.654 --> 00:02:08.218 So now you can just add all your text. 44 00:02:08.218 --> 00:02:10.400 You can design it however you want. 45 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.766 Exit out of that. 46 00:02:11.766 --> 00:02:14.060 Add this end credits to your film 47 00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:16.266 or to your timeline. 48 00:02:16.266 --> 00:02:17.313 And now let's see. 49 00:02:17.313 --> 00:02:19.914 When I play through this, it scrolls 50 00:02:19.914 --> 00:02:21.287 through all of them, 51 00:02:21.287 --> 00:02:22.596 but what happens is that it doesn't 52 00:02:22.596 --> 00:02:26.465 scroll through, it doesn't start black 53 00:02:26.465 --> 00:02:27.342 and end in black. 54 00:02:27.342 --> 00:02:28.537 So that's what that option was 55 00:02:28.537 --> 00:02:31.787 when we went to our roll crawl options. 56 00:02:33.030 --> 00:02:36.849 Click this start offscreen and start end offscreen. 57 00:02:36.849 --> 00:02:37.895 Okay? 58 00:02:37.895 --> 00:02:42.041 Now if we exit out of that and play through it, 59 00:02:42.041 --> 00:02:45.262 it starts offscreen and ends offscreen. 60 00:02:45.262 --> 00:02:47.263 But this is way too fast. 61 00:02:47.263 --> 00:02:49.711 It's super easy to make it slower. 62 00:02:49.711 --> 00:02:52.302 Just extend the length of our credits 63 00:02:52.302 --> 00:02:55.775 by clicking on the edge and dragging out. 64 00:02:55.775 --> 00:02:58.175 So now it will scroll, 65 00:02:58.175 --> 00:03:01.780 and really, with scrolling tech credits, 66 00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:04.685 the key is to go slower than you think 67 00:03:04.685 --> 00:03:06.119 because when you export it, 68 00:03:06.119 --> 00:03:07.467 and when you're projecting it or 69 00:03:07.467 --> 00:03:10.182 when it's playing on a computer or a TV even, 70 00:03:10.182 --> 00:03:11.340 if it's going too fast, 71 00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:14.874 you get a little bit of a flicker as it moves. 72 00:03:14.874 --> 00:03:17.862 So going really slow is a good idea. 73 00:03:17.862 --> 00:03:19.447 That being said, with scrolling credits 74 00:03:19.447 --> 00:03:21.710 I don't suggest putting end credits 75 00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:23.003 on all of your videos, 76 00:03:23.003 --> 00:03:25.481 especially any sort of short video 77 00:03:25.481 --> 00:03:26.730 that you put online. 78 00:03:26.730 --> 00:03:28.468 I would only put end credits on 79 00:03:28.468 --> 00:03:30.284 something like an actual short 80 00:03:30.284 --> 00:03:33.495 documentary, a narrative film, a longer film, 81 00:03:33.495 --> 00:03:36.015 something that really deserves credits 82 00:03:36.015 --> 00:03:38.270 and you want people to sit through the credits 83 00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:40.090 as if this is a YouTube video, 84 00:03:40.090 --> 00:03:41.805 no one's going to sit through 85 00:03:41.805 --> 00:03:44.173 30 seconds of scrolling credits. 86 00:03:44.173 --> 00:03:46.823 So be aware of when and where 87 00:03:46.823 --> 00:03:48.765 you should actually have credits 88 00:03:48.765 --> 00:03:50.220 at the end of your films.
