How to Make Trailer Credits
Movie trailers act as harbingers for their associated films. They drum up interest in movies by packaging a film's highlights into a short montage or snippet. While your movie trailer is only a sample of your entire film, you'll still need to credit the film's producers and the actors that appear in the clip. With the help of the Windows Live Movie Maker, you can add credits to your trailer or export them for use in another video editing application.
