How to Make Credits in Premiere
Credits in a video project give recognition to the people who helped or were a part of the production. Adobe Premiere includes a Titler tool that lets you create title and credit sequences. You can use or modify the templates that come with Premiere and add your own information, or create a title from scratch with text styles and shapes. Titler also lets you create rolling or crawling titles and credits.
