Cinecred creates film credits without the pain

If you’ve ever put together end credits for a film, you know they are laborious to assemble and a pain to get right. Altering the layout, font size, or spacing after the fact is incredibly time-consuming. And don’t even think about hitting an exact runtime requirement while circumnavigating the shimmer trap.

But there is a better way: Cinecred, a free and open source program to create credits without the pain. Cinecred reads your credits data from an Excel, LibreOffice, or Google spreadsheet, and then lets you interactively arrange and style the credits in any way you like. There’s a default template that gets you off the ground quickly, but everything can be customized down to the pixel. Use your own fonts or insert logos, pictures, or even videos. And once you’re done, check the scroll in the integrated player, before exporting it in a plethora of video and image sequence formats.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Reads the raw credits data from a Credits.xls(x) (Microsoft Excel), Credits.ods (LibreOffice Calc), Credits.numbers (Apple Numbers), or Credits.csv file, or even an online service like Google Sheets.
• Live visualization – continually updates an interactive visual preview and indicates any problems with the Credits file. Optional layout guides (press the red button in the screenshot) make both learning Cinecred and styling your credits dead easy.
• Interactive styling.
• Initializes new projects with a template that covers many common use cases.
• Flexible styling system enables a wide range of layouts and designs.
• Embed media.
• Instant real-time playback at any time.
• Manifold delivery options.
• Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
