How to Trim Credits in a Movie Using Adobe Premiere
The Adobe Premiere "Titler" tool lets you create titles and credits. The titles can be static or animated and placed before, after or over video footage in your production. Title or credit files created in the Titler are automatically added to the Project panel and are treated by Premiere like any other video asset. They are placed in one of the video timeline tracks when you add them to your project and can be trimmed like any other audio or video file in the project.

Tips & Warnings
Duration changes and trims made in the timeline do not affect the title assets in the Project panel. If you accidentally trim too much from a title in the timeline, you can delete it and drag another instance of the title into the timeline.
You can create all of your titles, credits and other text objects and save them with your project to place as needed.
