The problem with creating scrolling credits in Final Cut is that you have very limited styling options and you can’t pause the scroll at the end. Both of those limitations don’t exist in LiveType.

In this short, focused tutorial, Larry will show you how to properly set the Project Properties to match your video, how to create and style your credit text, how to create a custom effect, how to adjust the effect for time, and how to create a scroll that provides a pause at the end.
