How to Make Rolling Credits in Premiere

Rolling movie credits can simply be applied to your movie in Adobe Premiere.

Adobe Premiere Pro is a software suite dedicated to video production and editing. Director David Fincher used Adobe Premiere to edit the renowned Facebook movie "The Social Network" and filmmaker Gareth Edwards used the platform to edit "Monsters"; both of which have gone on to receive widespread critical acclaim. Adobe Premiere can be used for a host of purposes, including the creation of rolling credits to be placed at the end of your movie.
