What It Does
Trailer Credits Builder is an After Effects panel that takes a list of roles and names and turns it into a fully animated, cinematic credits composition. Instead of manually building and timing individual text layers for each credit card, you feed the panel a CSV or Excel file and it generates the whole thing for you.
It’s aimed squarely at editors and motion designers working on movie trailers, teasers, mock film openings, and title sequences where that specific “A24 / blockbuster credits” look is needed.
Key Features
CSV and Excel import. Bring in your full cast and crew list directly from a spreadsheet. You can also manually add, remove, and edit rows inside the panel.
Flexible role wrapping. Wrap role text by commas, by words, or not at all. Per-row overrides let you break the rules when one credit needs special treatment.
Pair order switching. Toggle between role/name or name/role ordering depending on your project’s convention.
Typography controls. Adjust font, text sizes, tracking, line spacing, and the separator character between role and name columns.
Entrance animation controls. Animate credits in with opacity, position, and scale. Set direction, delay, duration, and playback order, including random or reverse sequencing.
One-click comp generation. Output a finished, ready-to-edit After Effects composition. Works with a new comp or drops content into your active one. Optional black background included.
Bilingual interface. Panel UI is available in both English and Russian.
Who It’s For
Anyone who regularly builds trailer packages or title sequences will feel the time savings immediately. It removes the repetitive part of credit-building entirely, the stacking of text layers, the manual keyframing, the spacing adjustments, and leaves you with a comp you can tweak rather than build from scratch. Also useful for short film and indie project deliverables where a polished credits sequence is expected but production time is limited.
