Build fast, flexible credit scrolls in After Effects. Make changes easily. Get some sleep.



Setup: Simply create a scroll control, then add or categorize your elements. Credits Are Due takes care of the rest.



Make changes: Reorder whole sections, edit the type styling, add extra people, split them into multiple columns, and everything snaps into place automatically.



Throw in a few logos: Images and videos scroll just like text -- and in whole pixel increments, of course.



Hit exact timing: Change scroll speed, section spacing, scale and position on a global level and squeeze things to fit.



Work faster: Run the layer trimmer to crop layers so they're only in the timeline when they're actually on screen.



Note: This tool takes advantage of recent changes to expressions in AE, so it requires CC2015. (Projects can also be opened for rendering in the 13.2 version of CC2014. Creating or editing scrolls in CC2014 is not recommended.).
