Adding Film Credits This is where you would list all the people involved in your production, including you! You would credit your cast, those involved in your production and credit any photos not taken by you or music that has been used.

You would consider importing pre-prepared graphics for your video credits.

To do this you would prepare and download your images in a free programme like ‘Canva‘. You can then import images separately to your timeline. Adjust your time settings to your liking.

Images should be 1920 x 1080 pixels.
