    So if you working in HD 1920x1080 23.98fps, you want the scroll to move 4 pixels per frame. So a 2 minute credit roll would be 120 seconds x 24 frames per second = 2880 frames x 4 pixels per frame = 11520 pixels. So your document size would be 1920x11520, and you layout the credits to fit within that document (leave 1080 pixels empty at the top so the credits can roll in/the first frame is black). Here is a link to an Illustrator document that I use as a template to build rolls with, just adjust the document size to fit the length of time required for the roll. The inner-most guides on the document are 4x3 title-safe guides so keep your text within those boundaries.

    There's the secret formula.
