Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Open or create a project.
Step 2

Open the File menu and select New, then Title.
Step 3

Click the tiny icon in the extreme top left of the window that appears.
Step 4

Select Options from the menu that appears. The Display Options dialog box appears.
Step 5

Make a title clip that's the same width as your final movie output, but much taller. For example, if your movie is 160 by 120, and you have approximately four screens of credits to show, set the Title window to 160 by 500. Click OK.
Step 6

Type your credits in the Title window.
Step 7

Open the Title menu and select Center Horizontally.
Step 8

Open the File menu and select Save As. Name and save your title clip.

Drag the file into a video track in the Construction window.
Step 10

Click on the clip to select it.
Step 11

From the Clip menu, click Filter, then Image Pan Filter.
Step 12

Click Add in the box that appears.
Step 13

The Image Pan Filter window opens. Set the Start Rectangle to the height of your final output (in this case, 120). A small selected rectangle appears on the Start Rectangle. If it isn't already at the top of the Start Rectangle box, drag it to the top.
Step 14

Click Copy to copy the settings to the End window.
Step 15

A small rectangle appears on the End Rectangle. Drag it to the bottom of the End Rectangle box.
Step 16

Click OK, then click OK again.
Step 17

Save your project.
Step 18

Preview your rolling credits.
