How to make scrolling text credits in Camtasia
ฝัง

- Creating scrolling credits or titles like in the movies is very easy using Camtasia's annotation tool and a little bit of animation. In this tutorial, I am demonstrating how to create scrolling titles in Camtasia, without using an external tool. It works in Camtasia 2019 and Camtasia 2020.
The scrolling titles can be animated to go up or down, you can change the speed, duration, start and endpoint of the animation and expand it later if you want.
If you add this animation to your library, you can reuse it in other projects. If the text is too long to edit easily, you can make multiple copies of it and change the text, animate each one individually and make the scrolling text follow the other ones seamlessly for a very long end credits sequence.

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I am new to Camtasia, this was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if you are finding my Camtasia videos helpful or if you have more questions or things you don't know how to do. I'm always looking for ideas for videos.
@@Graphicious Thank you! I was also looking for information on what exactly I need to put in closing credits, not just how to make them roll. I know this might be out of scope of these videos, but it might be helpful to include some snipers of what should be included in closing credits for personal videos, for example, that one plans on publishing on the web or for corporate videos and maybe other types of videos. Thanks again!
I suppose it depends on the type of video you made. I think that's why they call them 'credits', so you might want to include the names of those who collaborated on the video, the authors, writers, and so on, as well as perhaps mentioning who did the editing, audio/music. If it's on the web, you could mention credits/names of those who produced any resources you used in the video, such as stock video/photo, for copyright reasons. Sometimes, when you download stock images or video from free or paid sites, they require you to give them credit. Since you can't put links in the video, it's worth mentioning them at the end during the credits. I hope this helps.
@@Graphicious thanks so much for your reply! I already found what I needed on the net, but what you said here is also very helpful and hopefully will help others in the future. All the best from Austin, TX!
I really like how you add in-depth detail as well as practical applications for whatever topic you are demonstrating.
BTW... In one video you ask for content ideas. I don't know if you've done it already but I could sure use some of your in depth insight into setting up and managing Camtasia Library assets🤓
I appreciate that! I've done a video on the Media Library but it's a little old and for version 2020. I have a new one planned for 2021, with more tips such as how to make sure they scale correctly when added back into your project as well as quick properties and more: th-cam.com/video/oVJ3EMtqLHA/w-d-xo.html
@@Graphicious I'll check out the link you added and thank you.
One thing that I don't know how to manage is when I update something in my library and it seems like I can't delete it without corrupting previous videos that used a deleted graphics. Not sure if that makes sense but it often makes me create new items rather than store them in the library...
If you have Camtasia 2021, and save the projects as 'stand alone', it will save those assets in the project folder so it won't break your project if you delete the assets from the library... after you've closed the project.
@@Graphicious I do have Camtasia 2021so I'll try to do that from now on... it's little things like this that are so helpful! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this excellent video Cristi. I want to create a scrolling poem - and this is EXACTLY what I needed. You cover everything so clearly and address so many of the questions that I might have had. Thank you.
You're so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback. If you have any other questions, let me know. I might do a video! :)
@@Graphicious thank you. I’ll keep working on my project, and may well have questions!
@@Graphicious And in fact I do have a question - if that's OK? I wonder how, if you have several sections of scrolling text, consisting of differing quantities of text (and whether of the same length or differing lengths) you can ensure that the speed of the scrolling text is consistent across the differing sections? Thank you! :) 🙏
Fantastic video. Thanks so much.
Awesome!

Found what I have been thinking about.....😊
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Nice video! This made it so much easier. I am a new Camtasia user. Do you know any codes I can use to produce without watermark?
Not that I know of
Excellent - Thanks! My text is jittery as it goes up. Yours is perfectly smooth. Any ideas how to fix that?
One think I can think of is, make sure you are not also animating the container of the text annotation - the box that holds the text. That can make it jittery, because Camtasia constantly reassesses the space that text has inside that box. So your text box must have a fixed size, you are just moving it vertically.
well explained
Thank you
Lovely
Thank you.. it very helpfull for me..2022
Glad to hear that
Great
thank you
Welcome!
Hi from David once again, I was wondering if you know a way to change volume levels of all audio on one track that are not level throughout the whole track on the timeline??
Hi @David Found, I'm afraid you cannot control the volume of an entire track in Camtasia. Here are some ideas:
1. If you want to normalize the audio, you can turn on the Auto-normalize function in the project settings. That will make all tracks the same level.
2. If you have Camtasia 2021, you can do the same on each clip, so Camtasia 2021 has auto-normalize on a clip basis
3. If you really need to change the audio for an entire track, and you have multiple clips, either change each one, OR EXPORT the audio only, as WAV, re-import and replace the audio. Then the imported WAV will be a single audio track which you can change the level for in one operation.
Hope these ideas help.
@@Graphicious Thanks very much again. It was what I thought, as I have tried many ways to re-level individual clips on one track. It's just that there was a need to lower levels of some clips then go back and try to re-level all the clips on the one track, without having to go into individual clips and reset the levels. But I am sure Techsmith will fix this soon. Cheers mate.
Very helpful instructions, thank you. How to make the scrolling go smoothly ... mine (30 seconds) plays jumpy.
Glad it helped. Make sure you have enough framerate on your project (30) and remove the animation easing, make it Linear. Then enough frames between the start and end of the animation. Jumpy could also be an indication of your computer not coping with the animation, performance-wise. Try exporting the video and see if it does the same on the video.
Can I register with my voice while the text is scrolling? Great video
You can record narration if you want, while it's playing
This was a great tutorial. I noticed that sometimes when I have scrolling text in paragraph form, the text will reorder itself as it scrolls. The scrolling is not smooth. Any clues on how to fix?
If the text shifts during the animation, the most likely explanation is that you are modifying the size of the container textbox/annotation, or if you changed the text at the other keyframe. That’s why it’s important that you edit and place your text carefully before you start animating it and not change the textbox animation because that could cause it to rearrange the text as it becomes smaller or larger.
@@Graphicious Thank you! I deleted the text and started all over and now everything is scrolling smoothly. I think I may had just been clicking too much and added some extra instructions that I didn't intend. This is an awesome channel. Thank you!!
Could you let me know how to make such scrolling text but in a short distance? Thanks!
Make the animation shorter!?
@@Graphicious No, your video show the text move from the bottom to the top of video frame, i just want the text appears from 1/3 frame move up to 2/3 frame and dissapear.
@@TaiLe-dr5ve You can either make a cover for the bottom and top third or add an annotation rectangle for the middle third and use the Media Matte effect on it, with Alpha. The annotation with Alpha must be above the scrolling credits, and it will mask and clip them to that area. If you are using Camtasia 2021, the Media Matte effect can be used. If you are in Camtasia 2020, the Track Matte effect will achieve the same thing.
How to add the animation is shown from 3:45
I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Is the video not clear? This is what the tutorial shows from that point onwards - how to add the scrolling animation.
Very good but how many people stay to watch the end credits apart from the cinema projector janitor...lol
That may be true for a theatre movie but in some other types of projects, they might be useful. Thanks for watching!
@@Graphicious But really enjoying your tutorials mate.
Thank you. Let me know if you have questions or challenges I could help with.
can we use it with image too
Yes, you can, the principle is the same. You export your image with all your text, and make it as tall as you want, then you can use the same idea to 'scroll' the image upwards. There are two downsides to this:
1. The image is *not editable* , so if you need to make changes to the text, you have to re-export the image, re-import, replace the existing image, etc.
2. If you need to put anything behind the image, you would have to export it as a PNG with Alpha, otherwise, *you can't see anything through it* .
It's doable, but the downsides are more than the benefits. The solution shown in my video gives you the most flexibility. You can always make changes to the text, content, colour, font size, you can put anything behind the text AND, it all looks sharp and nice because it is using native text instead of pixels.
Or, TechSmith can just not be lazy and add a scrolling text feature instead of forcing us to manually animate like this.
Well, that's kind of what animations are for.
THANK YOU!!!!! I hope you see my video using your credit knowledge Will be named 0 kill - 0 Damage win Solo vs Quads Rebirth "The Movie"
