5. Add a text layer and place it upon your guides. Then parent it to the null.

6. Duplicate the text needed, place it where you want, and add as many titles as needed.

7. Insert anything else you want to put in the credits, and attach to null. (pictures, etc.)

8. Add a position keyframe to the position you want the credits to start.

9. Add a position keyframe where you want the credits to end.
