How to Create Rolling End Credits with AI

How to Create Rolling End Credits with AI

Updated 4 min read

I used to spend three hours lining up two columns of names for a rolling credit scroll in Adobe After Effects. One change to the font size would break the alignment and force me to start over. You can now generate that same credit roll with AI motion graphics tools.

How to Create Rolling Credits with Easymotion

With Easymotion, you can skip the timeline entirely. You do not have to align the names or set the scroll speed by hand. Here is exactly how to generate your credit roll.

1Open the Studio

First, navigate to Easymotion in your web browser and click the "Start Creating" button. You will be prompted to log in or sign up for a free account. Once logged in, you will enter the main studio interface.

2Enter Your Prompt

You have two options to create your end credits. You can browse the template library to find a pre-made credits style, or you can describe what you want in the prompt box. For example, type: "Create rolling credits on black, with yellow role headers and white names, from Directed By Jordan Michaels to Sound Design Harper Lee."

Tip

Have the cast and crew in a spreadsheet? Click the paperclip, choose Add Data (CSV/XLSX), and attach it instead of typing every name.

3Customize Using AI Chat

Once your base animation generates, you can adjust the details using the AI chat panel located on the left side of the screen. Just type commands directly into the chat. For example, type: "Change the ending to a typewriter line that reads The Story Begins." The system updates your video automatically.

4Export Your Animation

When you are happy with the result, click the Export button in the top right corner and select the MP4 format for a standard video file. To overlay this credit roll onto another video, make the background transparent first: ask the chat for a transparent background, or press the checkerboard button on the background color in Quick Edit. When the preview shows a checkerboard, export in the MOV format and drop the file into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Copy-Paste Prompts for Your Animation

Paste one into the prompt box in Easymotion, then change the details to fit your video.

Prompt 1: Classic Credits

Create rolling credits on black, with yellow role headers and white names, from Directed By Jordan Michaels to Sound Design Harper Lee.

Prompt 2: Navy Credits

Create rolling credits on a dark navy background, with white role headers and light gray names, from Directed By Jordan Michaels to Sound Design Harper Lee.

Prompt 3: Vertical Credits

Create vertical 9:16 rolling credits on black, with yellow role headers and white names, from Directed By Jordan Michaels to Sound Design Harper Lee.

Adobe After Effects vs AI Motion Graphics

A credit roll used to mean aligning every name and keying the scroll by hand. Here is how that work compares to Easymotion in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under 60 seconds. You type the roles and names into the prompt box, and Easymotion lays them out and sets the scroll.

No, you do not need Adobe After Effects or any design skills. You list the credits in a prompt, then change names or colors in the AI chat on the left.

Yes. Paste each role and its names into the prompt or the chat. Every entry keeps the yellow header and white name layout.

Yes. Ask the chat to slow the scroll down or speed it up. A slower scroll keeps long lists of names easy to read.

Use a MOV file with a transparent background. Ask the chat for a transparent background, or set the background color to transparent in Quick Edit, until the preview shows a checkerboard. Then export MOV and place it over your footage in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Use MP4 for a normal video file.
