Add rolling end credits to a video in PandaStudio

PandaStudio adds rolling end credits: a title followed by role and name lines that roll up the frame over the length you set, with the role line styled separately from the name.

Type one credit per line as Role: Name (up to 200 lines). PandaStudio lays them out centred, rolls them up the screen and fits the speed to the Length you give it, so a longer list simply rolls faster or you give it more seconds. The role line is the second line, so it has its own size, opacity and colour.

In the app

  1. 1Move the playhead to where the credits should start (usually the last seconds of the video).
  2. 2Open the Lower 3rds tab and click Credits roll under Live styles.
  3. 3In the Selected panel, type an optional Title and your Credits, one per line as Role: Name.
  4. 4Type the Length in seconds; the roll speed follows it.
  5. 5Under Look, set the font and colour, and use the role line's size and opacity sliders to make the roles smaller or fainter than the names.

Ask the AI
