Why we like it

Trailer Credits Builder earns its place for turning role and name lists into a finished title composition in one click, covering typography, wrapping, and entrance animation from a single After Effects panel.

What is Trailer Credits Builder?

Trailer Credits Builder is an After Effects panel for producing trailer-style credits from lists of roles and names. You can import that data from CSV or Excel spreadsheets and text files, or manually add, remove, and edit credit rows inside the panel. The pair order can be set to role/name or name/role, and the separator between the two is customizable.

Layout and typography controls cover font, text sizes, tracking, and spacing, along with flexible role wrapping by commas, by words, or none, plus per-row wrapping overrides. An optional bottom text line can be added, and you can generate the result into a new composition or the active one, with an optional black background.

For motion, the panel animates titles with opacity, position, and scale, and lets you control animation direction, delay, duration, and order, including random or reverse ordering. The interface is bilingual in Russian and English, and it supports After Effects versions 2020 through 2026.

Frequently asked questions

What After Effects versions does Trailer Credits Builder support?

Trailer Credits Builder runs in After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, so a wide span of recent versions is covered. It works as a panel inside After Effects. If you run a version outside that range, check the developer's page for the current compatibility list before installing, since support can shift with newer releases and the panel targets these named versions.

What file formats can Trailer Credits Builder import?

Trailer Credits Builder imports role and name data from CSV and Excel spreadsheets as well as text files. If you prefer not to import, you can manually add, remove, and edit credit rows directly in the panel. You can also switch the pair order between role/name and name/role and customize the separator between the two. See the developer's page for details on preparing your source files.

Is Trailer Credits Builder free?

Trailer Credits Builder is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page on aescripts for the current details before you download. Once installed, the panel handles importing role and name lists, customizing typography, wrapping, and layout, generating the finished title composition, and animating titles with opacity, position, and scale, all from within After Effects.

Does Trailer Credits Builder have a non-English interface?

Trailer Credits Builder ships with a bilingual interface offering Russian and English, so you can work in whichever of the two languages suits you inside the After Effects panel. Beyond language, the panel lets you adjust font, text sizes, tracking, and spacing, add an optional bottom text line, and choose whether to create a new composition or use the active one.
