The basics

What are end credits?

End credits are the list of cast and crew shown at the end of a film or video, usually scrolling up the screen in white on black. The roles sit on one side and the names on the other, so a long list stays easy to scan.

This page opens on that layout: Two columns, in a serif typeface on pure black, with the crew first, then a Cast heading over the characters and the actors who played them. The roles line up on a shared gutter and the whole block is centered, however long the names are.

For a cast list, type the character in the Role column and the actor in the Name column. A line with a role and no name becomes a heading, so you can split the credits into Crew, Cast, Music and Special thanks.

To put it on your video, see how to add a credits roll in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make an end credits.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Add your credits

    Type a title, a line under it if you want one, and each role and name in the Credits table: up to 30 lines. Or switch What scrolls to Paragraphs and paste your own text.

  2. 2

    Choose a style

    Classic puts each role small above its name, Two columns sets roles on the left and names on the right, and Minimal keeps both on one quiet line. Pick Small, Medium or Large text.

  3. 3

    Set the speed and the look

    Scroll speed runs from 0.5× to 2× and shows how long the video will be. Then one of six looks and four typefaces, or your own text and background colors.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device. No account, no watermark.

Credits roll

A title, then roles and names scrolling up at a steady pace, ending on “Thank you for watching” in the middle of the frame.

When a credits roll isn’t enough

The free credits roll is the starting point.

Here you get a clean credits roll on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want, such as “as I say thanks for watching, roll my crew's names up beside me and end on our logo”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video. Attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot and it matches them. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

Questions

End credits: your questions, answered.

How do I make end credits for a short film?

Type each role and name into the Credits table on this page, one line each, then set the title and a closing line. Press Download and you get the credits scrolling up on black as a 1080p MP4, ready to put at the end of your edit.

How do I add a Cast section to the credits?

Add a line with Cast in the Role column and leave the Name empty. It becomes a heading with a short rule on either side, and the lines after it sit under it. Under Cast, put the character as the role and the actor as the name.

How do I credit two people for the same role?

Put the role and the first name on one line, then add a line with the Role left empty and the second name. The second name lines up under the first.

Can I put the end credits over the last shot of my film?

Yes. These credits are white on black, so in your editor you can place them on the track above your last shot and set the blend mode to Screen: the black drops out and the white text stays. For other colors, switch the background to green and remove it with chroma key.

Is the credits roll maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the credits roll with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the credits roll comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. If the graphic is light, you can also set the background to black and use the Screen blend mode. Either way only the credits roll is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The credits roll is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the credits roll in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.

A name and a title in five animated styles: a bar, a line, a card, a name tag or an @handle pill, placed along the bottom of the frame.

Title animation

A title and subtitle revealed seven ways: words rising out of a mask, popping, sliding, tracking in, wiped or fading up.

Typewriter text

Your words typing themselves behind a cursor, in a human rhythm. The text alone for an overlay, or inside a terminal window.

Neon text

“Good vibes only” in pink handwritten neon that flickers on line by line, then glows steady on black.

Glitch text

Your words in bursts of color split, sideways slices and flicker, with calm between them and a clean hold at the end.
