Credit roll, is this possible?

Is there a way to scroll text  on the screen. I make two or three games a year that I spend considerable time on, I can spend a month collecting the sounds and graphics. I would like to make up a credit roll to run at the denouement to give credit to the artists who's work has been used. Some of them are current paid for graphics, some could be composers dead for hundreds of years. After one-shots people have asked me what a piece of music was, or where I got that scene. My tendency is to go all in on these things. 
As usual, a script could do this.  I considered writing a Star Wars crawl script for the intro to a campaign.  But I felt using one of the online crawl generators and using a link to it would be easier.

Scrolling text would be a fun and easy script to write.  Doing a starwars scroll would be a little harder.  We don't have a way to skew text, so we'd just have to scale it as it moves up the page, and vary the rate as a function of the distance... 
i find it best with a lot of derivative works to use a website for each Setting that can list your sources a simple Google site would work. to give you an idea here is mine&nbsp; <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/roll20game/updates" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/roll20game/updates</a>

I don't have it working. The main issue is that I'm not sure how to break up the notes section into an array of strings. The other issue is that I just pass them all at once, which I should do over an interval. I think an interval to pass the lines in, and an interval to scroll them. Anyways, here's what I have atm:&nbsp; <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/447de26082a30baa91fbbd32a77e1f99" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/447de26082a30baa91fbbd32a77e1f99</a> Edit: semi-functional now, though more credit lines makes it more jumpy. Thanks to Aaron for some helping with regex. He also suggested chaining timeouts, but I'm not sure how to do that. Will update if I end up doing that.
I know nothing about API. It is effectively magic.

That would be neat. But have you considered putting your Credits into a Handout as plain text, and "Show To Players"? Or copy-paste your credits into the Chat Room. To me this seems easier and has benefits (Players can copy-text of a song title and look it up), granted this is less visually exciting than a screen-crawler text would be, and I know that Al runs a visually impressive game table.
