Overview
The Scrolling Credits layer allows you to create professional end-credit sequences by scrolling text vertically, similar to movie or television productions. The layer supports customized content, scrolling speed, and branding logos for a personalized touch.
Key Features
• Customizable Text: Input and format text for roles, names, or any other content.
• Brand Integration: Add a trailing logo or graphic at the end of the credits.
• Smooth Scrolling: Adjustable scrolling speed and fade duration for a polished effect.
• Appearance Settings: Customize text alignment, font, and size for a professional look.
Layer Controls
Content
• Scrolling Text: Add the text content to display, separating roles and names by line (e.g., Producer\nJohn Doe).
• Trailing Logo: Upload a logo or image to appear at the end of the scrolling text. Toggle this on or off as needed.
Transition
• Fade Duration: Define how long the text takes to fade in and out of the scene.
Timing
• Scrolling Speed: Adjust how quickly the text scrolls vertically (e.g., 25 units for moderate speed).
• Logo Duration: Specify how long the trailing logo remains visible after the text finishes scrolling.
Appearance
• Text Font: Select the desired font, size, and style to match the aesthetic of your production.
• Text Alignment: Set the alignment (e.g., center, left, or right) to ensure proper visual balance.
Workflow Example
1. Add the Scrolling Credits layer to your Layer Stack.
2. Enter the desired text in the Scrolling Text field, ensuring each role and name is on a separate line.
3. Upload a trailing logo (e.g., company branding) and enable it for display.
4. Adjust the scrolling speed, ensuring it is slow enough to be easily readable.
5. Customize the text appearance, including font, size, and alignment.
6. Preview the credits to confirm the layout and transitions, then take the layer live to display during your production.
Tips
• Use a readable font size and style for clarity. Avoid overly decorative fonts.
• Ensure the scrolling speed is appropriate for the amount of text; too fast or slow can detract from readability.
• A trailing logo can add a professional touch, especially if it includes production branding.
The Scrolling Credits layer provides a simple and professional way to conclude your productions with a polished, customizable end-credit sequence.
