How to Display Rolling Credits on Stream
The Movie Credits widget creates cinematic rolling credits for your stream. Choose between a classic movie-style scroll or the iconic Star Wars crawl effect.
When to Use
- Ending a show with credits (thanking team, sponsors, viewers)
- Creating dramatic text reveals (Star Wars-style)
- Displaying acknowledgments or special thanks
- Professional show endings
Steps
Step 1: Add the Credits Widget
- Open the Layers tab. Apps work on both scene types:
- Dynamic Scene: expand Apps & Widgets -> Add from marketplace
- Pro scene: click Add New Layer -> Apps & Widgets
- Search for “Movie Credits” and click to add it
Step 2: Choose Animation Style
| Style | Description |
|---|---|
| Star Wars Crawl | Perspective text that scrolls into the distance. Auto-applies gold text, Gothic A1 font, justify alignment, and dark background |
| Movie Style | Classic vertical scroll. Auto-applies white text, Roboto font, center alignment |
Step 3: Enter Your Credits Text
- Click the text editor in settings
- Enter your credits content using the rich text editor
- Use headings, line breaks, and formatting as needed
- Max 3000 characters
Example format:

POWERED BYevmuxStep 4: Configure Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Scroll speed (1=slow, 20=fast) |
| Font Size | 60px | Text size (20-120px) |
| Font | Gothic A1 / Roboto | 13 font options |
| Loop | On | Repeat animation continuously |
| Text Align | Center | Justify / Center / Left / Right |
| Side Spacing | 50 | Side padding (disabled in Star Wars mode) |
| Auto Switch on End | Off | Switch scene when credits finish |
Step 5: Set Up Auto Scene Switch (Optional)
For a professional ending:
- Enable Auto Switch on End
- Select the target scene (e.g., an “Offline” or “Thanks for watching” scene)
- When credits finish scrolling, evmux automatically switches scenes
- Works best with Loop off so credits play once then switch
Tips
- Star Wars mode looks best with gold text on a dark/black background
- Loop on for continuous credits during a “thank you” segment
- Loop off + Auto Switch for an automated show ending
- Special fonts like Honk, Bungee Tint, and Bungee Spice have built-in colors and ignore the text color setting
- Use a slower speed (2-3) so viewers can read the names
- Full-screen the credits layer for maximum impact
