- Help button opens this page.
- Credits textbox for entering (or pasting) text content, see formatting instructions below.
- Stylesheet dropdown for picking a style preset
- Production logo dropdown for picking an optional image to be shown after the credits
Basic use
The content in the end credits works by "groups" and "names" within those groups. The content must be formatted with the following rules for the system to work.
Groups are headlines with their own style. Names are people within each group. See this example:
Change styles
In the template folder (ASSETS/templates/smartpx/creditsroll by default) there is a css/styles -subfolder with four CSS styles, each with controls to change alignment and sizes of elements and fonts and colors.
These style parameters are typical CSS properties, so please feel free to experiment with them, but it is always a good idea to make backup copies of the original files if something unexpected happens while making modifications to files.
