How to Make Scrolling Credits & Split Screen Outro in CapCut | Keyframes Masterclass
If templates are the "training wheels" of editing, then Manual Keyframing is "riding pro." 🚴♂️
In today's lesson, we are tackling a classic cinematic effect. If you've ever seen that professional ending in movies where the footage shrinks to the side while the cast list scrolls smoothly—and wondered how to do it—the answer is Manual Layout.
In this tutorial, I will demystify this workflow and show you exactly how to abandon rigid templates to build a custom, pixel-perfect split-screen outro from scratch.
📱 Note: I am using the CapCut mobile interface for this demonstration, but the logic of keyframes applies perfectly to the PC version as well!

🔥 Why this matters:
Mastering this effect allows you to completely control every pixel. While templates limit your speed and positioning, building it manually ensures your outro matches your video's rhythm perfectly—giving it that high-end "TV Show" finish.
