Creating Credits


Recommended Posts

I want to make a credit sequence like the ones at the end of the matrix trilogy but I have absolutely no idea how or where to start. I have Premiere which has some title features but it doesn't seem that good.

I am pretty competent with Flash but no other animation programmes.

Obviously I need to be able to turn them into some kind of video format compatible with premiere or vegas.

Thanks in advance!

But can Flash export in a format compatible with Premiere?

You can export flash to just about anything .mov and even .avi I think. I'm at work so I don't have access to Flash but I'm pretty sure about the .mov

While we are at the topic (well somehow) Does anybody know which font the guys from Hollywood use to make their posters. You know the narrow tall one...

I have another question - why on Earth do they use that tall font!?

Since I'm so lazy here is a screen shot of what you can export your Macromedia Flash work as:

Thanks malebolgia

I knew it could export .mov (but I don't like quicktime) but didn't know about .avi

And I think they use that tall font so they can squeeze all the stuff they want into a small area. No one really reads it they just put it there because of convention I suppose.

Problem with Flash MX exporting to avi is the resolution, limited to a max of 640x480, not good if you intend your avi to end up on a DVD (PAL or NTSC). Is this limitation still there with MX 2004?

You can also use After Effects, a lot more cool plugins are available to give you that extra edge. Didn't try this using Premiere but you try to can create a bmp or whatever of the credits, like a scroll, and just pan down the image, that can give you a scrolling kind of look.

If you're using Vegas I saw some free files to help you achieve some nice looking credits, haven't tried them though. Don't have vegas.
