Camtasia: Create credits - how it works

In this practical tip we will show you how you can create credits in Camtasia.

Create credits with Camtasia

1. Open the project in Camtasia where you want to insert credits. Make sure that all the video and audio files you need are in the correct tracks.
2. Click on "Callouts" in the selection menu and then under "Form" and "Special" select the option "Text Callout".
3. Now enter your credits via the editor on the left of the screen. Then select the "Visual properties" option.
4. Click on "Add animation". The animation is marked with a keyframe in the text track. You can use the X, Y and Z coordinates under "Position" to animate the text as required so that it runs from bottom to top or from right to left.
5. You can easily change the speed by dragging the keyframe to the right or left in the track. You can set any number of animation points to adapt your end credits to your ideas.
