The idea could be to put them next to people's name or just be something just to color it up a bit. We can do Command A to select all and scroll everything up. So, for instance, we can add a cute little hat here to the side. Now what if we wanted to add cute little images like you see a lot in credits. We can use that certainly right there as our credits.īut we can do even better. So let's set it to None so it moves at a constant rate. But notice it's kind of speeding up as it goes because the Default Acceleration is Ease In or Ease Out or Ease Both. So I'll slow it down to 30 seconds and I can do a Preview here and you can see now it's a little too slow. So now when I Preview it you can see how quickly it scrolls from not even appearing, through the screen, and then out the top. If I do negative 2000 you can see it does indeed move up but not quite enough. Then I'm going to have this (y) be something negative so it moves all the way up. So I want to set the x position to be the same 705 that we had before. Now the Move effect we want it to go and reposition vertically. So let's switch to animate and under Action we'll Add an Effect. You can see it 705 is the x position and 1080 is the y position all the way down below the bottom of the screen. I want to check in the Format sidebar under Arrange and see where it is positioned. So we can have it start here at the bottom. Now the idea is that we want it to scroll up the screen.

Use the sidebar here and increase the font size. So maybe we want it to be a little bigger. Let's say this is going to be our scrolling credits here. In this text box I'm going to insert, I'm just going to paste a list of fifty names randomly generated. Get rid of the text that's here and create a new text box. Let's shrink down this so we can see what's going on here. So let's go, in Keynote, and create a widescreen presentation because the video is probably going to be widescreen. However you could do it pretty easily in Keynote. But if you want something a little more complex you probably need a piece of animation or graphic software. You can use that in end credits for a project. Video Transcript: You have the ability in iMovie to create simple scrolling text.
