Ending Credits Sample for Film and Video
Review an ending credits sample for cast, crew, production departments, music, special thanks, legal notices, and final credit order.
An ending credits sample shows how cast, crew, departments, production companies, music, special thanks, and legal notices can be arranged before the final credit roll is created.
ScrollX helps teams move from a sample credit structure to a professional end-credit sequence that can be reviewed, revised, and exported for the final edit.
Ending credits sample structure
The exact order can change by production, but a clear sample helps editors, producers, and post-production teams agree on what belongs in the credits before formatting starts.
- Key creative credits: director, producers, writers, executive producers, and principal creative roles
- Cast credits: main cast, supporting cast, voice talent, contributors, or interview participants
- Production crew: camera, lighting, grip, sound, art, wardrobe, makeup, locations, production office, and assistants
- Post-production: editor, assistant editor, color, VFX, motion graphics, sound design, score, music supervision, and mix
- Additional credits: archive sources, stills, stock footage, funders, sponsors, and location acknowledgements
- Closing lines: special thanks, copyright, legal notices, production company, distributor, and logo cards
Simple ending credits sample
For a smaller project, the ending credits may be shorter:
- Written and directed by
- Produced by
- Cast
- Director of photography
- Editor
- Sound and music
- Production crew
- Special thanks
- Copyright and production company
Sample structures by project type
Different projects need different proof and acknowledgement sections. For focused examples, see the short film end credits example and the documentary credits example.
Short film sample
Short films usually need cast, key creatives, crew, music, special thanks, copyright, and festival-ready final credit lines.
Documentary sample
Documentaries often need interview participants, archive sources, funders, sponsors, music, translators, fixers, special thanks, and legal notices.
How to adapt the sample for your project
Use the sample as a starting point, then adjust it for the scale of the production. A feature film may need detailed department sections, while a short film may only need key roles, cast, crew, music, thanks, and legal lines.
The important checks are accuracy, readability, consistent formatting, and a credit order that matches the production’s requirements.
Use ScrollX after planning the sample
Once the sample order is approved, ScrollX can help turn the credit list into a clean scrolling sequence. Teams can preview spacing, timing, and readability before the final export.
- Build from a structured ending credits sample.
- Group names and departments clearly.
- Preview the credit roll before delivery.
- Update late changes faster than manual timeline formatting.

An ending credits sample should include cast, crew, departments, post-production, music, archive sources, special thanks, legal notices, and production company credits.

No. The sample is a starting point. Each film or video should adjust the order, sections, and legal lines for its own production requirements.
What is the difference between ending credits and closing credits?
In most workflows, ending credits and closing credits both describe the final credits shown after the main content ends.
Can ScrollX turn a sample into finished credits?
Yes. ScrollX helps convert structured credit information into a professional final credit sequence that can be previewed and exported.
