In this video, I'm going to show you how
0:01
you can add rolling and credit in
0:04
shortcut. My name is Isaac and this is a
0:06
minute with AI. Now, usually in movies
0:08
or in script, you normally see at the
0:10
end here after the movie, you normally
0:12
see an end screen showing the directors
0:15
or those who participated in the
0:16
creation of the movie. So, let me show
0:18
you how you can add such an end credit
0:21
in shortcut. So, the first thing you
0:22
need to do is to have your track on your
0:24
timeline and then go to the end of it.
0:27
So at the end here we have to add a
0:29
black timeline because most end credits
0:32
are usually on a black background. So to
0:34
add that black background go to open
0:37
other here and then when you tap on it
0:39
you'll see an option called color. So
0:41
tap on color and here go ahead and
0:43
choose the color. Currently it is set to
0:46
transparent. So using the preset you can
0:49
choose now here black. So shall choose
0:51
the black and then click on add to
0:54
timeline. And immediately you can see
0:56
our timeline has been added. So
0:59
depending on the names that you have or
1:01
the list of names you have, you can go
1:02
ahead and increase this black background
1:05
to the level that you feel you are
1:07
comfortable. So I'll go ahead and
1:09
increase this maybe to 23 seconds. I'm
1:13
okay with that. And here we go. Now once
1:15
you have added the black background,
1:17
select it and then take the next step
1:20
which is going to filters. And here's
1:22
filters. Then from filters click on this
1:25
add a filter. Now from this search for
1:28
text and then choose text rich. Don't
1:32
choose simple but choose text rich so
1:35
that you can get more control. So from
1:37
this go ahead and tap on presets. Look
1:40
for the option called scroll up because
1:42
usually the end credits normally scroll
1:45
up. So we want our style to scroll up.
1:47
So I'll choose the option called scroll
1:49
up and it has been added. Great. So the
1:53
next thing we need to do is to come and
1:55
click here and then add our text. So
1:58
I've gone ahead and copied my text and
2:01
I'll just go ahead and paste it here.
2:03
The text that I want us to roll. So I'll
2:06
paste it there. And as you can see the
2:07
text is too tiny. All you need to do is
2:10
to add the font size. Select the whole
2:12
text using Ctrl + A to select all the
2:16
text and then tap on this center so that
2:20
my text is centered. and then go ahead
2:22
and increase the text size. So I'll
2:25
increase this to a level that I'm
2:27
comfortable. I'll go with 50. And here
2:30
we have 50. And now you can see the text
2:33
has been added. Now it's time to go and
2:35
test and see if it will indeed roll up.
2:38
So to try, let me move the cursor
2:40
towards the end and then see. Now look
2:43
at that. That has been perfectly added.
2:47
If you want it to last longer or to move
2:50
slower, you can go ahead and increase
2:52
this size to add the transition period.
2:56
And now look at that. It is much slower
2:58
than it was just to cover the whole of
3:00
this black background. However, I feel
3:03
that um the transition is quite abrupt.
3:06
So I like to go ahead and add a smooth
3:08
transition by adding a fade in. So I'll
3:11
just to do that, I'll come to the end of
3:14
this video track here. and then add a
3:18
fade in and out transition here so that
3:22
it fades in. And then when you go ahead
3:24
and try it now, you can see how that
3:27
transitions. So that is perfectly well.
3:31
If you feel this is still too long maybe
3:32
for the names, you can go ahead and
3:36
reduce it. Maybe I can cut it to this if
3:39
I feel this is enough. And there we go.
3:42
Now the problem is it will be much
3:44
faster. So I'll leave it as it was. So
3:46
my list was quite short. You can go
3:48
ahead and add your list to be as long as
3:51
you can so that it runs smoothly and
3:53
covers the whole background. So that's
3:56
how we add end credits in shortcut. So
